[quote=Anonymous][quote] Or, they might be working really hard. A single mom working two or three jobs is not going to be able to take her kid to the museum or read to him every night or help with homework. But she's working way harder than you to provide for her kid. She might value education a lot, but she's not able to support her kid. [/quote] Going to the museum is a nicety--not a necessity. It is a necessity to see that your child gets fed, and gets enough sleep. If you want your child to do better than you, then you also find the time to read to or with them. This can be done while preparing dinner or bathing or tucking in to bed. It does not require hours. And, again, there are many parents who are not working two or three jobs. There are many who are not working at all, yet do not find the time to do these things. [/quote]
