In my research of traditional Irish weddings‚ I discovered many interesting ideas that Mrs. Mooney might have used in planning Polly’s wedding. Because Mrs. Mooney is a divorced‚ single mother‚ providing for her two children‚ her income is limited. Her only source of income is the money she gets from the boarding house she opened in her own home. It is explained in the novel that Polly once worked at an office but Mrs. Mooney made her stay home to entertain the guests of the boarding house; the clerks

I believe parent involvement is the key to changing our communities in the years to come. The more we as parents become involved and show our children that we care‚ the better off our world will be. The country will benefit as a whole giving every child the opportunity to succeed in such a competitive country.

ll religions and all societies have given parents an honorable status. From a purely material viewpoint‚ we find ourselves indebted to our parents‚ particularly our mother.

Single Parent Problem For many years‚ children growing up in a single parent family have been viewed as different. With much speculation‚ this topic has become a very intriguing argument. What people must understand is that properly raising a child does not rely on the structure of a family but should be more focused on the process or values that are taught to these children as they learn to mature. Being raised by only one parent seems impossible to many yet over the decades it has become

his essay “I Listen to My Parents and Wonder What They Believe”‚ explains how children need to acquire morals that they live by so society can operate without the selfish ruining the lives of everyone else. It comes down to living together in cooperation as a people from values we have been taught or acquired. For me‚ my moral values come from two sources.
