Beth Mendel derailed her successful career in design when her husband's company relocated him from New York City to Virginia. They moved their four children into new schools, sold their apartment in the city, and bought a new home in Virginia. Her parents even joined them in the move. Her husband's job was to downsize the company's operations in Virginia. However, a few months later, after her husband had successfully downsized the company, his employer in New York City called him back to headquarters for a meeting. Read More

There's growing recognition of how much our first years of life affect us not just as children but into adulthood. Parents are routinely told how important it is for them to talk to their babies and toddlers, for instance; we know that deficits in young children's vocabulary and cognitive development are hard to rectify down the road.

Gary wasn't mad at his ex-employer. A self-employed contractor for years, Gary joined a new company as a contracting manager because he believed it would enable him to fulfill what he saw as a solemn duty towards his son: giving him a more secure future.

It's no longer a 'Leave It to Beaver' world for American families - but it wasn't back then, either
|
It's less common today for American children to have a family like the ones portrayed on television in the 1950s and '60s. One of the biggest reasons is a dramatic rise in kids living with a single parent.

This marks a dramatic decline from the height of the postwar baby boom, when these kinds of households were more common. Read More

A Troubling Combination: Depression, Poverty, and Parenting
|
There is a troubling trend that researchers have identified again and again - low-income parents, especially single mothers, have higher rates of depression and depressive symptoms than their higher-income counterparts. A new Child Trends' study found that more than half of a group of low-income mothers in Maryland felt down, depressed, or hopeless in the past year and almost a third had those feelings combined with a lack of interest or pleasure in doing things.

EXERPTS FROM RED SKELTON'S RECIPE FOR THE PERFECT MARRIAGE
1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.
2. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.
3. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
4. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was. She told me, "In the lake."
5. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
6. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late for the garbage?" The driver said, "No, jump in!".
7. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was 'Always'.
8. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.
