Giving money to parents who have types of comprehension problems, is this right?

There are so many people who should receive money (or help) \nand don't: people in charge of sick family members or spouses, people in charge of children with special needs or disabilities, people in charge of their elder, even mother with young children. I agree with you that families who have to take care of ill children should receive help or money, and maybe be put ahead of those with kids who have learning disabilities (as illness requires more extensive and expensive care), but I wouldn't take any helps already received away... It seems so hard to get any!

Those are both really good ideas.  See if you can offer to help out at your parents' places of work.

I 100% agree !! They ususally only give money to people w/ children and/or people who are married. I dont receive any because my step-dad makes too much. I dont live at home and they DONT support me in anyway!! They are very unfair. I am in loan debt. Try looking for some scholarships to help.

There are many grant programs etc.available.  Check with your local and state government.  Also, a really good motivating read is "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" It is really straightforward.

Go to your local library...I can't think of the name of the book but I'm sure they will know what your talking about.  They have a book that is full of different grants offered to people for various reasons.  It's unbelievable the organizations out there that are willing to help if you just look.

It's a little late for this year, but a strategy I've found to be effective is by doing my shopping a little at a time, beginning, if you must, in January.\n \nHowever, this solution still doesn't deal with the underlying problem.  It sounds as if you and your husband have very different attitudes toward money--a situation that's not all that uncommon.  I know this from firsthand experience because it exists in my own home (though it's not nearly to the extreme you describe)--my situation for years was one of having to watch every penny and make choices between a cup of coffee and putting gas in my old jalopy, while my other half was used to thinking that money was something that, if he ran out, he could always get from his father.  Over the years he's learned to rein in his spending, but he never will be the penny pincher that I am (by the same token, I've become a little less prone to making a dime do the work of a dollar).  \n\nYou refer to your spouse as the "major breadwinner"--does he have the attitude of "it's MY money, I work for it, and I should get to spend it as I like?"  If so, I think that, as a couple, you would benefit from talking with a neutral third party--a clergyperson or a counselor--who can help you.  \n\nNow, for this year, a lot depends on the ages of your children.  If they're still fairly small, dollar stores will provide some gifts that will brighten the holiday for them.  You might also use this as an opportunity to teach your children about giving by donating some of their outgrown clothing and toys to a charity or a drive for such things in your area.  Stimulate their creativity, too, by making decorations with them.\n\nHope this gives some ideas, but until you and your other half deal with the problem of his spening habits, it's just going to be the same old thing year after year.

First, do some research so you know that the charity you're sending money to, really DOES use it to help the kids. Look for 'Not for Profit' charities. Then you can decide where to sponsor and know you're really helping someone.

I guess that depends. Frankly, if I was your mother, I'd tell you it wasn't any of your business how much I owe JC Penny. Why do you care?\n\nThat said, I don't think parents should lie to their children. You two should try to work it out, but it sounds like you are being kind of extreme in this case.

As long as it is a program to fall back on.  I don't believe it should be a long-term program, unless someone is truly disabled.  We all have emergencies, and it is nice when there is something there to keep your kids from starving until you can get back on your feet.  I don't want to pay taxes to support someone who won't work.  If I am to pay taxes, I want that money to be able to help me should I have a crisis.

If you are homeschooling, you are refusing all services from the public schools...not just classroom services but also any therapies he may have been receiving. Therefore his IEP is of no value, except you should hang onto it so that, if you decide to return him to the public schools, you have a contract already in place for the specialized instruction and services.\n\nDo your research on effective instruction for Learning Disabled children.  Go to LD Online, the International Dyslexia Association, etc. and review their information.  You cannot just "tell" him like you would a "normal" learner and expect him to understand, remember, or make progress in his areas of difficulty.

as far as getting the money together I'm not sure how to help you, but there is a site i visit from time to time called walkers.org, it is a site for ppl that suffer from various mental disorders, its basically a bunch of ppl that have problems get together and talk about them and help each other through whatever they need. they have forums as well as a chat room, if you would like any more information about it feel free to msg me with any questions you might have, or if you would just like to talk.

I am experiencing this from an opposing side, if you will. We live in Egypt and my children attend Egyptian schools. I do speak Arabic and I am educated in Arabic language and grammar, however, with subjects like Social Studies and History and Science, I am learning right along with my kids. (I know American History and Social Studies and I have to re-learn a whole new list of vocabulary for the sciences I studied in English.) It really is NOT easy at all for foreign parents to help their children with their homework in a second language. However, it is vital that the parents participate and learn as much as they can of the foreign language. Even if this means being only one lesson ahead of your child. As to the school district providing necessary outlets, most school districts in the U.S. will provide assistance to these parents IF the parents ask for it. I've found the assistance I've needed here and I also found that in Maryland I was given an Arabic interpreter when one of my children was being tested for autism (trying to determine if it was actually a speech developmental delay or just a bilingual issue.) Most school districts will assist if you ask.

no.....\nI can tell ya I have seen some other issues here if its not documented right. you can't sale the house or get loan unless if you all agrees. What if someone got sick, mentally disabled, or missing and family  needs money?\n\nBesides house, U might have other personal properties, car, bank balance, investments, 401K, life insurance(which generally has named beneficiary)\nI think u need to consult a lawyer in your state. it will cost u few hundred $$.\n\n.... just came something in mind. By doing this you are giving away control of your wealth to them. And may be for IRS it consider as gift and it may be subject to tax.
