To the general public the title of single parent usually carries a stigma with it, not that it’s true but as it seems to a lot of people. Usually it goes something like this, Where’s the other parent,why isn’t he/she not helping, They’re not married because she or he will lose some free benefits and so on. As I’ve said on another thread dealing with the death of the little boy who was left by himself while the mother went to work and the father was at a local bar, There needs to be more places scattered around the county for child care, day and night to help the young working single parent or parents at a reasonable cost or free. Believe me, me and the wife has provided plenty of free child care over the last 10 years and I’m not talking about kin folks either although we’ve done plenty of that too. I imagine there are plenty of people out in the county like us who could help if you could get them organized and checked out, for the safety of the children, but how?

There needs to be more help for single mothers with children. I am thankful that I always had someone to help me out. No one can afford child care any longer.  I have a friend that has to pay over $800.00 a month for two children That mother is working and having to bring her child to work so she can proved for him. It is sad that we can go out of way to help other countries but not our own people..
