		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who has ever read one of my blogs, knows how important I believe routine is in raising healthy children.  While I believe a stable routine is good for children, it can sometimes be unhealthy for parents.  Parents, especially single parents often find themselves stuck in a monotonous and tedious routine completely revolving around their... <a href="http://www.singleparentstown.com/blog/2012/02/10/michael/try-changing-up-your-routine/">Continue reading &#187;</a>]]></description>

I have often thought of sitting down and writing a letter to you all, but truth be told, I never felt I could adequately put the depth of my emotions in writing. Just the thought of this letter brings a tear to my eye, and I am sure by the... <a href="http://www.singleparentstown.com/blog/2012/01/27/michael/a-letter-to-my-children/">Continue reading &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am. From parent/child relationships to employer/employee relationships, I am guilty of being a controlling person. I&#8217;m not guilty of trying to control people, but rather controlling situations. If I am driving on a trip with someone, I prefer to drive. I&#8217;ll fly when needed, but prefer not to.

Having been in a relationship the last several months, hiccups and all, I feel I am in a better position to expound a bit... <a href="http://www.singleparentstown.com/blog/2012/01/06/michael/dating-part-ii/">Continue reading &#187;</a>]]></description>
