That works a little better, but regardless, a parent will do what they can even if they are a single parent unless they have their priorities out of whack.

It really does come down to parenting and doing that right. There is nothing else to pin it on -- who else is raising the kids and has responsibility for them? Single moms with a clue get neighbors or other family members (even those 200+ miles away) to check on the kids. Church groups also help out if asked.

I know this works - I was the kid in that environment and what I outlined above DOES work. Especially if the kid is encouraged to get a job at age 15 to keep him out of trouble :-)

I wish you luck with them!

How much of what they have is purchased with credit? And how much of what they have is going to be used for medical care / nursing home costs? Co-pays get you every time from the doctors office to the prescription counter.
