[quote=Anonymous]My sister became a single mom when her daughter (my niece) was 18 months old. Dad rarely contributed. Until she left home after high school, the daughter and her mom shared various studio apartments and a king-sized bed. This was in an even more expensive area than DC. Some of those apartments were about 400 square ft, while others were the entire basement of a gorgeous single family home, but still just one large room. My sis and her daughter are very close, and she was raised to be very mature and independent -- no whining! My sister is a teacher and after 20 years still only made about 60K a year. My niece is now the most self-reliant young woman i know -- more so than my own daughter. [/quote]
