| Article Title :: "Does Living In A Loveless Marriage Necessarily Mean That You
Should Get A Divorce?" |
| |
|
Being in a loveless marriage is a frustrating predicament, but
it may not necessarily mean that a divorce is eminent. Solving
the quandary of a loveless marriage requires self-reflection to
assess the situation, courage to try to create a team effort for
the best decision with your spouse, and gumption to face the
reality that a divorce may be the best solution for the loveless
marriage.
But, before you jump right to the easy way out and decide on
divorce, you should got through the process of making sure that
you have logically thought through long-term implications of
ending the loveless marriage.

It is that time of year again, and the holidays are right around
the corner. There is that sweater that you have to get for Dad,
the special scarf for Aunt Martha, cookies to bake, lights need
to be put up, decorate the tree, office Christmas party, so many
things to do and so little time.
This is such a wonderful, joyous time of year for most people,
but there are still those that find this the most lonely and
depressing season of all. It is said that more suicides occur
during the holidays due to depression and loneliness. Do you
know of someone that is single and alone, no family to share the
holidays? Invite them to share the holidays with you and your
family, gather friends for dinne (read full article) |

Thrifty (but Unique) Holiday Gifts for Young Children
By Dian Dewi
It’s December, and as the holiday season drew closer, you
found your preschooler saying this to you, “Mom, I want this and
that toy …My friend is going to get those from his mom. ”
When you went and checked the price online, you were shocked
with the price. You couldn’t believe that a child toy can be
that expensive. To make things even worse, you doubted that
those toys would make a good buy and did not feel good about
giving them to your precious little one.
Does this situation sound familiar to you ?
If your answer is yes, don’t despair ! Chances are, almost every
parent, have come across (read full article) |

Emphasizing the Spiritual Side of Christmas with Our Children By
Lisa M. Hendey
In these hectic days prior to Christmas, it’s easy for us to
push aside the precious time we have with our young children in
favor of hours spent shopping, wrapping, cooking for guests, and
entertaining. We may find ourselves popping in a videotape,
permitting one too many “happy meals” or handing our children
toy catalogues to keep them occupied while we repeat “Maybe
later, sweetie” more frequently than we realize.
As parents, we all strive to build family traditions and
memories our children will cherish. The trouble starts when we
let ourselves become so wrapped up in creating those special

Family Christmas Traditions |
| |
|
'Twas the week before Christmas and all though the house
everything was in shambles. Too much to do and not enough time.
More shopping to be done, presents to wrap, cookies to bake and
decorating await. Oh the hustle and bustle, the extra work and
the stress. Is it any wonder you feel like the Kranks?
If your holiday season rings in more stress than joy, you're not
alone. Consider these facts:
oIn a recent survey, 96% of 8-12 year olds included a big screen
TV in their wish list. This despite 73% of parents wanting to
limit their children's TV time.
o It takes an average of 4 months for a credit card user to pay
off what they buy during the holidays
o Americans plan to spend $1,564 per (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Top 5 Best Home-Based Business Ideas |
| |
|
I have been receiving child support payments and back-child
support payments for over twenty years. I cannot begin to tell
you how the child support checks have helped me provide for my
daughter.
I used a portion of my child support funds to make more money in
an effort to provide a better life for my child. If you really
give it some thought I am sure you too can come up with a
home-based business idea that will help you provide for your
family. I created a home-based business because I could not
afford to take on a second job; day care was just too costly.
These are difficult economic times for all parents but
particularly for parents who have only one income. I am a firm
believer that (read full article) |

| Article Title :: CHILD SUPPORT: 5 KEY THINGS EVERY PARENT SHOULD KNOW |
| |
|
There is no magic solution to getting issues surrounding child
support resolved. Most parents know that when dealing with the
bureaucracy tied to the child support system persistence,
persistence, persistence is the key that opens the door. In
fact, it is the only thing that will open any door when it comes
to getting a resolution to a problem. You cannot count on pencil
pushers, or all too patient white collar “Friend of the Court”
workers to help. They are overworked, underpaid, wrapped in a
sea of paperwork, antiquated computer programs, and red tape
that barely allows them to move from point “A” to point “B”. So

We all wish that our children should not smoke or drink, should
not speak lies, should not steal, should not have a violent
nature, etc... but are we setting a good example ourselves?
Just yesterday, I was at a friend's place and his daughter came
running up to us with her school calendar and asked her dad to
put a remark for being absent for school. They had been to a
close relative's wedding and my friend merely wrote "Stomach
Pain" and signed the calendar. Aren't you indirectly teaching
the child that it is OK to lie? I have seen so many parents
protecting the guilt of their children by lying, I wonder what
will happen to them when these children start lying to their
parents themselves! (read full article) |

We want our children to do the right thing, especially when they
are out with their friends. We want to believe in them, but
somehow, we don't feel certain that they would.
Have you ever asked yourself why you feel and act that way?
Maybe the answer lies in the fact that, although you intend to,
you rarely teach them how to develop their self-discipline. Or
maybe it is because yo (read full article) |
