Jennie,

I am not sure I can help you but you may want to check two other articles that I penned. 1) Stay-at-home mom’s can maintain their identity 2) Moms who have the baby jitters. Both can be accessed on google. Be well.

Article I found on why couples choose to remain childless.

Could you look for articles on how children with disabilities affect the lives and success of parents?

Well, if your kid is Hannah Montana or something, lol. There are studies thats suggest married people live longer. You'd figure most married people have kids. Kind of a leap, though.

I know in my case, my husband was in a job that seemed to go no where but he stayed there because our children needed the insurance. Once you change to another job, no insurance for some time. Being sucessful usually devotes alot of time at work. Children make a difference in decisions as far as a job goes, like taking a job with more hours (less time at home), jobs that will work around a daycare schedule. It can have a huge impact on the parents decision to be sucessful. It not only works that way with one parent but both. Who'd be home with the kids? We all get faced with the decision, which is more important, money (sucess) or family.

Strange question…I think you determine your own success. I am a single mom of two and I am getting my degree online. I have been a good example to them in my determination. I tell them that I did it the wrong way by not going to college out of high school but they see my example and I know they are better people from it.

Can you help me find websites that deal with How children affect parents success?
I have to do a project for school and I haven’t found that many sources.
Thanks.

Also, How do you think children affect parents success?
I have to give a presentation using power point on how having children affect your success. I know it sounds crazy. I have been looking for sources all day but can really only find how PARENTS AFFECT CHILDRENS SUCCESS and that is not what I need. So I thought I would ask you guys.
