Why does the system make it so hard on single working mothers?
Answer:
Listen, there is plenty one can do..
I am 26, male, single parent to 3 yr old triplets and a 1 yr old girl...
I didn't get to go to college... but I am very successful now. I run my own business... I invest in real estate, buying a house, fixing it up, selling it. I have great hours since its my business... I am able to spend more then enough time with all of my children and I am single. There is plenty that can be done, you just have to be motivated and creative. If I can do it, anyone can...
find what your good at, and list all the options available for that... work from home, online courses, anything but sitting around complaining about it because that is not getting you anywhere!
Try some of the classes that they offer online. and don't stress yourself with full time.. Just take a class or two a semester. There are colleges where you can get your full degree online or you can check into your local colleges and most offer the basics online which will at least get you started! Best of luck!!
If you really want to do it you can. It will be tough and exhausting at times, but will pay off. Many trades schools and colleges offer school at night and weekends. There are also online programs. There are also programs that involve online work in the week, then you attend campus at the weekend. It just depends on what you want to do. You will have to research the programs, and local schools.
You should check out your county assistance programs. There are a ton of programs out there that wiil help with schooling, daycare, rent, food, etc. Also, there are a ton of online schools where you can get your degree. www.pcdi.com
Try checking with your local social and health services office to see if they offer any programs for working mothers to help with daycare costs and other costs associated with being a single parent. You can also recieve government grants and federal aid for your schooling.. which may be MORE than the cost of your schooling... so you can use that extra money for whatever you want! Good luck!
What "system" are you talking about? Do you mean the "system" that has been keeping you down? Do you mean the "system" that is unfair to the single working mother?
Are you talking about the "system" that doesn't allow for you to have a life that is as easy as you wish it could be?
Do you mean "that system?"
Well, guess what, there is NO "system!"
There are only your own choices and actions that define your place in life. If you are finding it difficult, if you are wishing it were better, well it isn't the fault of some "system".the fault lies clearly with yourself.
But, the good news is, just as there is no "system" that is causing your condition, there is also no "system" that keeps you in the life you are in. You got yourself there, you can get yourself out.
Seek out family and friends as a support system. Work harder. Enjoy the little things (like your beautiful children) and be content with what you have.
There are colleges that give scholarships and provide paid daycare for hardship cases like yours. Look into it.
You are not the victim of some "system". Your life is the byproduct of your actions and choices. Want it better, then make it better.
Kissmy b Here a big news for you!...

Going to college is a privilege and honestly..nobody but you decided to have children before going to college. Don't blame the system for your choices.
i feel you the ones that are trying to work and help them self but need a little help cant get it but the ones who sit on their butt all day doing nothing get all the help and free assistants they can get. anyhow try some on-line classes, and some night classes are considered full time even though you only go 2-3 times a week
