Through My Own Eyes: Single Mothers and the Cultures of Poverty Reviews

Through My Own Eyes: Single Mothers and the Cultures of Poverty

An eye-opening–and heart-rending–account from the front lines of poverty, Through My Own Eyes offers a firsthand look at how single mothers with the slimmest of resources manage from day to day. For three years the authors followed the lives of fourteen women from poor Boston neighborhoods, all of whom had young children and had been receiving welfare intermittently. We learn how these women negotiated a bewildering maze of child-care and social agencies, struggled to balance work and motherhood, and tried–frequently in vain–to gain ground. “Revealing, penetrating and sobering, Through My Own Eyes paints a poignant portrait of real women’s real lives. At one level, this sensitively written book packs lessons about struggle and survival. At another level, it is a profound treatise about culture, class, misdirected practice, and misconstrued policy. All who read it will face themselves and their attitudes about poverty with new understanding. A triumph!” –Sharon L. Kagan, Senior Research Scientist, Yale University Susan Holloway is Adjunct Professor of Education at the University of California, Berkeley. Bruce Fuller is Professor of Education and Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley. Marylee Rambaud is a Senior Associate at Creative Associates International, Inc., and teaches graduate seminars in international development and community education at Boston University.

Time Management for Single Moms – How to Save Hours in a Day

Time Management for Single Moms – How to Save Hours in a Day

Don’t you sometimes wish that a day has 72 hours instead of just 24? If youâ??re a single mom, time management is a necessary skill. You cannot afford to just settle with, â??There is so much to do in so little time. Thatâ??s just the way it isâ?

Time management can daunting for single moms. As breadwinners of the next generation, single moms often engage in stressful multi-tasking, but they still lack time to do everything that needs to be done. If you think it’s tough being a mom, try being a working mom. If you think it’s tough being a working mom, try being a single mom.

There are methods that can be applied to time management, especially for single moms. If you want to know the secrets of time management suited for single moms, read the following tips:

Time Management for Single Moms Tip # 1: Plan and Organize.

Your days should be mapped out to maximize time. At the start of every phase in your life, a new job, a new year, after your birthday, etc., plan how your days go. Scheduling is imperative, if you seek to do the most that you can with every hour that you’re given. Stick to your schedules, giving allowances only for priorities and your children.

Time Management for Single Moms Tip # 2: Prioritize.

If, for example, something comes up, or too much is on your schedule for the day, bump off a few tasks. Prioritize the most important tasks that you really have to do today, and spread out the rest to do for the next few days.

Just list down everything you need to do, and then rank them up by urgency. Limit yourself to ten per day, and tick off these tasks as you finish them. If something comes up that you also must attend to, prioritize only the most urgent and most important tasks to fill your day with. Remember, you are no Superwoman. Take care of your sanity too.

Time Management for Single Moms Tip # 3: Delegate.

When you know that you can’t do everything on your schedule, you need to ask for help and give some of your tasks to others. Remember that you’re only human. You need to have time for yourself, too. You also shouldn’t let yourself get run down by multi-tasking. If you can’t mind the kids because you have to work, get daycare. You could also look for a babysitter.

But if you worry about your kids’ security, it would be best if your office has daycare facilities. At least your kids will be near you and you can work with less worry, knowing they are safe and nearby.

Living the life of a single mom can become fun and enjoyable, if you apply these tips. Time management for single moms is easy; you just have to start by admitting that you can only do so much in a day.

Time management is a skill that single moms must learn, and learn well. With the dual role you have (and who knows what other things youâ??ll be able to do), being able to plan, prioritize, and delegate your tasks are essential to maintain your sanity. For single moms, time management is a breeze if theyâ??re willing to put this plan into action.

Government Grants For Single Moms

National Debt Relief Program

Government Grants For Single Moms

The single mom in debt. She is a victim of today’s economic recession. Unfortunately, she is also the target of many scams floating around these days, such as firms promising to hook a single mom in debt up with government grants for single moms. These heartless companies promoting these scams ought to be hogtied — or at least made to sit through a Pauly Shore marathon.

Their scam goes something like this: For x-amount of dollars we will send you the web link or the forms you need to apply for government grants for single moms. The rub is – you part with your money and receive worthless information, if you receive anything at all. Women out there really need to read the fine print and look things over and size things up carefully before falling for a government grants for single moms thing.

Government Grants For Single Moms

However, when it comes to single moms in debt and actual ways and means for them to get debt relief – very real and successful programs exist. Old and new. These programs include: debt consolidation & debt consolidation loans, debt settlement, consumer credit counseling, and in extreme cases – bankruptcy. These are programs that are proven to provide a single mom in debt with the debt management and debt reduction plans that are the most beneficial. But to repeat: Government grants for single moms do not exist.

As just mentioned, bankruptcy should only even be considered in extreme situations. The reason is that bankruptcy is like a poison pill. Single moms in debt that feel like they’re drowning in debt might fall for the TV commercials touting that bankruptcy is a walk in the park and can give you a fresh start – this is simply not true. Bankruptcy is by no means a simple walk in the park. It can relieve some debt obligations, yet others remain. Property can still be seized. And the stain on bankruptcy on one’s credit record for up to 10 years cannot be overemphasized. This is truly damaging.

Government Grants For Single Moms

One of the best debt reduction and elimination programs available to single moms today is known as Debt Settlement. This is a newer program that has been gaining much media attention as of late. It works by having a debt settlement firm negotiate on your behalf with your creditors with the goal of gaining concessions in the total amount of debt that is owed. Debt Settlement can achieve amazing reductions in debt of 50% up to 75% – without ever needing to even consider bankruptcy. And as we have mentioned – government grants for single moms do not exist.
