Hi There Dr Leah,

Very interesting. Single parent families, that are those, which have only one person as the head of the family, are growing in numbers every year. Such families are usually the result of parental breakup and unwanted pregnancies. More than men, women are the ones who get into this difficult situation. They are not only required to feed the family but also support everyone emotionally.

Nice advice!

This is a good heads up – especially for single parents who are really doing great in their education – which is a very vital part of one’s life.

Your concern about saying “no” to your kids is quite common. You don’t mention the ages of your children,but ,likely, they’re old enough to have school assignments or simply can be encouraged to do quiet activities while you work.

Actually, in establishing a “study/quiet time” as part of your parenting routine, you’re doing them a great service. And the added income/job security you’ll accrue with a graduate degree will certainly make their lives better.

Thanks for adding to this conversation. We’re looking forward to hearing about your online education plans.

Thanks Leah and all for this posting. I am considering returning to school online for my education masters at a local state college BUT I have two kids and saying “no” to them and finding reasonable child care while I study are my biggest issues. I don’t think I can study at home with them in the background. Can’t ignore their needs so I need to solve this issue. Good to hear that you all have been through this and will check in your sites for some more chat.
