HomeTwo Parent Professional Income Description: When both parents in the house work to provide for the families needsCommon Problems:
Parents are stressed out and don't seem to ever get a break and be alone
Feel like they both have to work to pay for different costs that come up
Not getting to spend enough time with the children
Statistics:
Daughters of employed mothers ten to be more independent
Working parents provides a very positive role model for the kids
Boys tend to do worse in school when mothers work
Married couples with children are more than twice as likely to file for bankruptcy
Two-income families today actually have less discretionary money left over than those single-earner families
While those families certainly make more money than a one-income family did a generation ago, by the time they pay for the basics -- an average home, a health insurance policy, a second car to get Mom to work, child care, and taxes -- that family actually has less money left over at the end of the month to show for it
Parents:
Who stays home when a child is sick?
When do you get time alone?
When do you get time to spend with just the child?
When does house work get done?
Students:
Kids many not feel like they get enough time with mom and/or dad
They are less likely to drop out because their parents show them a high work ethic
They most likely go to daycare at a young age and learn a lot there
Teachers:Teachers are in contact with the student all day long. They also need to be in communication with the parent. Teachers can learn so much about students during the day and can get a feel for the home life of the child and different things can help connect all three together.
