Search Results: single parents

Hello! I'm currently 19 and I'm the air force as an A1C. I'm currently heading out to my first base and staying there for 2 years. I decided to look for some girls to try to get in a relationship with because I'm single. I found one girl who I thought I was very pretty and I figured out she goes to college 3 hours away from my base. On breaks she comes down to her parents which is about 20 minutes where I'm from. I'll probably be able to drive down to see her once every 2-3 weeks if anything does happen. Should I actually date her or no?

Imagine I become a governor. I want to implement this plan. First, I'll tell you why this plan, and I'll say the plan after.

Why? I grew up extremely poor in "the hood." Later in life, I learned how to do things like save money. Plan for the future. Investing in things such as stocks and bonds and others. Money management. Sacrifice for the future. Invest in myself such as school or personal development.

It took me a very long time to learn these things. Where I am from, other young people are making the same mistakes I made for many years. Spending all my money, wasting it on food. Wasting it on clothes. Jewelry. Rims for the car. Nothing but useless crap.

Where I'm from, I see how much money these kids spend. They also hate their lives. They hate the system. They believe that the evil white man is holding them down, while they simultaneously fail to do anything right.

And really it's not their fault. Nobody taught me anything, nobody taught them anything.

My idea as governor of some state, would be to implement a new program in some inner city school system. With hopes it goes nationwide some day.

The plan is simple. Create a cirriculum which would start at FIRST GRADE, and continue every single year, until graduation at 12th grade.

These classes would hammer into students year after year, just the same as is done with math or history, the concepts of money management. How to plan for the future. How to do the things that will help these kids escape poverty and create a better life for themselves.

I would think Republicans would like the idea, but would argue that parents should teach these things. Which obviously cannot happen in poor areas where parents dont know how. They also wouldn't want to spend government money on it.

Democrats would oppose because implying that anything other than massive structural change to fix inequality is automatically off the table and labeled an ignorant right wing lie.

So today is Mother's Day - May 9th, 2021

You will have Father's Day -

But how come - there is no hype for "CHILDREN'S DAY"...

United States
Children's Day observations in the United States predate both Mother's and Father's Day, though a permanent annual single Children's Day observation is not made at the national level. National Children's Day is generally celebrated in June or October, but other days are celebrated as well.

Second Sunday in June
In 1856, Rev. Charles H. Leonard, D. D., then pastor of the First Universalist Church of Chelsea, Mass., set apart a Sunday for the dedication of children to the Christian life, and for the re-dedication of parents and guardians to bringing-up their children in Christian nurture. This service was first observed the second Sunday in June. The Universalist Convention at Baltimore in September 1867, passed a resolution commending churches to set apart one Sunday in each year as Children's Day. The Methodist Episcopal Church at the Methodist Conference of 1868 recommended that second Sunday in June be annually observed as Children's Day. The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in 1883 designated "the second Sabbath in June as Children's Day."[106] Also in 1883, the National Council of Congregational Churches and nearly all the state bodies of that denomination in the United States passed resolutions commending the observance of the day. About this time many other denominations adopted similar recommendations.
