My daughter is a single parent with two children, and she wants to finish her degree and become a school teacher. Is she eligible for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program if she is a full time student in a 4-year college?

graduated in 2003. I work as a critical care nurse. I took students when I was an undergraduate student and I also have parent plus loans for my son who is a junior in college. I have applied to go back to school next year. The track I would like to follow in graduate school does not allow for online education or I cannot work part time and go to school. I will be obligated to go to school full time which I am looking forward to. The problem is I live in CA but has been admitted to graduate school in PA. I am willing to relocate to PA and live there and go to school and if possible get a job and stay there. What is the possibility of getting financial aid for graduate school?

this woman who lives near me has 2 kids and claims benefits as a single parent yet she has her boyfriend living with her who works full time.
she pays no rent or council tax and also has a cash in hand ironing job.
my partner and i have young kids and are managing on one wage paying all our bills and generally doing the right thing,
while shes raking it in going on holidays and driving round in a posh car!
would you shop her if you were me or just let her get on with it?
it just seems so unfair

Beyond the physical, and financial adjustments—how did you deal with the mental and emotional side? Especially, if you never dreamed you would be a single parent (as I’m guessing no single parent does) I am 26 y/o and 15 weeks pregnant with my first child. I have already berated myself enough as to why I would allow myself to get into this type of situation, but it is surely too late for regrets. Without sounding too full of myself, I think the hardest part for me to accept—is that I just didn’t think this would happen to a women like me. I mean, I’m not some eager teenager who was trying to get pregnant to prove my womanhood…I just made a mistake with a guy who I thought I could trust. Now that he has made it clear, that he wants nothing to do with me or the child—I feel trapped and bamboozled. I always dreamed I would be married to a man who loved me and wanted me to have his children, not some guy who hates me because I got pregnant. I just feel really angry. I have my bachelors, have been working full-time for 5 years post-college and am a very attractive woman—-now I feel I am just a statistic. How did you cope with giving up the fairy-tale? And did you feel insulted that a man could abandon you while pregnant with his child?

and I need the best possible way to do spliting of the days and holidays ECT. My son will be with me ‘full time’ and with his Dad part time. As of now my days off are Monday and I work a half day on Tues from 9am – 1pm But as of the 19th of July I will have weekends off so I dont know what to do… any suggestions things that have worked for single parents? Especially when it comes to holidays?
