This week we focused on the importance of having a financial provider within the family. Ideally, the father of the family should provide the financial status of a family. This is because a family is the provider of family. Of course, this doesn't apply to every household. Because of certain situations, single mothers have to work to provide for a family. This isn't always the first desire of a mom but sometimes it is. Some women desire to have a very prestigious career and desire to have a family. In class, we discussed how this might lead to negative effects.
Some trends regarding to single mothers working are:
Independence
Changing roles
Wages go down
More acceptable for women to go to work
More acceptable for men to not go to work
Non-violent crimes occur during the hours of 3-6 -- the time parents aren't home with their children.
Not only is it hard for a single mother to care for her children, but when a mother who is married and is working may have similar negative effects because she may not be there for her children. The trend of more non-violent crimes happening during the hours of 3-6 is interesting because the children are the ones who cause these crimes. When mothers aren't home to greet their children coming in from school may have negative effects on the child and the child may grow distant to their parents.
We looked over a brochure in class titled, "One for the Money".
This brochure included important principles to apply to our families such as:
1) Paying tithing
2) Budgeting
3) Purchase needed insurance
4) Debt elimination
5) Work together
6) Teaching family members early
All of these principles help strengthen families and apply responsibility.
