Insurance Must-Haves for Solo Parents

For many people, insurance is a big part of their financial plans regardless of their status. But for a single mom like me, it is a necessity.

Single Moms Are Allowed to Say No

As a single mom, my biggest dilemma has always been determining how to keep my children happy.  I do want to give them the best the world can offer.  But doing it alone can be a tall order.  Much has been said about single parenthood, but one will never know the difficulty unless the person finds herself in exactly that position.  The most difficult thing is trying to be both the mother and father at the same time.
