Single-Mothers summary

Single-Mothers

I decided to explore the low wage life of a single-mother. Single mother's tend to be stuck in such binds as; doing work they do not wish to do, hours that work around picking their children up or dropping them off, being unable to financially support their children on their own, etc. Mother's who go from married to single or widowed, tend to go from being the nurturing mother, to the nurturing mother who has to bring in the money to support her family. The trouble is that with having the full time job of being a mother, it makes it incredibly difficult to having a lot of job experience to take on a prestigious job. Single mother's go into fields such as day care advisors, maids, waitresses, telemarketers, etc. My second hypertext website will take a look at some of these fields of work, the struggles single mother's face on a day-to-day basis, along with the hardships it brings to the child. Children are greatly affected when they are raised by only a female figure. They struggle to fit in at school, have a bond with their father (if the parents are just separated), and have enough time for school, extracurricular activities, and family time. In my website I tried to give the view point of children with single mothers, while also providing information for single-mother’s to refer to. Throughout the website there are factual information, but for the most part it is informative for people in the situation along with those who are not in such a situation.
