And of course the other usual parenting tips and tricks that would serve any parent. After years of waiting, I decided I'd start one of my own. I've also decided to add helpful tips and stories for and from step parents since we don't always stay single forever. BTW, step parenting doesn't have to be a legal union either. The moment a single parent dates and brings that other adult into a child's life, a form of parenting begins to take place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been a struggle since magazine's do not generate money the first couple of years so I work full-time and hope to keep growing until I can afford to break free on my own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want a FREE COPY? Want to publish your parenting story? Make your request here simply by saying ARTICLE or FREE COPY and I will contact you for your mailing address (please do not type it here) or more info.
