Wack Job Neighbor
Ok, so we’ve all had our fair share of crazy neighbors to deal with in our neighborhoods. It’s unavoidable, they’re everywhere no matter where you go. Last year we moved from a beautiful and luxurious apartment, which to this day I still miss and wouldn’t have left if the bloody commute wasn’t so long, to a nice little townhouse near my parents house.
Online Jobs for Moms
The advent of the Internet and computer technology has led to a new world of job opportunities. Because employees can now be connected by emails, video and instant messaging and online work spaces, workers can be anywhere, collaborating and creating together. Online jobs provide great opportunities for moms who have infants who need to be held or toddlers who can play at their feet while they work.
Cheap Labor Day Getaways
For many families, Labor Day weekend is the last chance they have to spend some quality vacation time together before the school year begins again. If you want to get away for the weekend but don’t want to spend an arm and a leg to do so, think about vacation locales near your hometown. You can also save on housing costs by switching with a friend or by finding someone who needs a housesitter for the weekend.
23 Ways to Fight Fair with Your Husband
Thirty years of marriage counseling and 25 years of a second marriage have convinced me that couples do not need to fight; they need to discuss. Married couples need to solve problems, and sometimes they need to disagree, but they don’t need to squabble, argue or bicker. Fights are dramatic, a dynamic that does not really help a discussion. If you have enough energy to create drama, you have more than enough to tone it down into a discussion. However, because social expectations and mythology are so strong (fighting is often glorified in films and on television as a sign of passion), many of my clients want guidelines for “fighting fair.” I’ve developed a set of Fair Fight Guidelines you may find helpful.
Best Careers for Single Moms
Single moms usually need jobs that offer some degree of flexibility along with being able to earn enough income to support their families. While some industries suit the needs of a single parent better than others, the tradeoff for more flexible working hours is often accepting a lower salary. Fortunately, there are professions such as working in real estate, sales, public relations, education or health care, which allow a mom going it alone to be available for her children and earn a decent living besides.
