An important consideration that every parent needs to make will be who should have custody of their children if they die before their children reach the legal age of maturity. The reason every parent needs to think about this grim possibility is simple: your children could end up in the hands of social workers as wards of the state if you do not plan carefully.Many parents assume that their children will automatically be placed with a relative such as a grandparent, aunt or uncle if they die. This is a strong possibility, but is not necessarily the case. Indeed, if a parent dies and no legal provision has been made for their children, the custody can be decided by a family court.Of course in a two-parent household, should only one parent die, the other parent maintains sole custody. However, should both parents die, or in the case of a two-parent household where only one parent has legal custody of the children (in many states that do not allow same-sex couples to marry, gay couples raising children together must chose which of the two parents will have legal rights), should the one parent with legal custody of the children die, the other parent will not automatically obtain...more

Most kids are equipped with a wonderful imagination and can occupy themselves with creative games that continue to develop and alter every day and which can run and run for weeks on end. When the weather is fine they are only too happy to be outdoors, tearing around the garden or romping about in the park and using up more energy in one afternoon than your average adult probably does in a month. Some kids are happy to play alone whilst others really need the company of other children in order to enjoy their play and we are all familiar with the bored child who cannot find anything of interest to occupy them for an hour or so. They seem hell bent on making everyone around them suffer as they sulk, pout, kick up a right old stink and generally sour the atmosphere and it is hardly surprising, considering the amount of energy inside them that is desperate for an outlet.One of the most trying places to experience the young person's temper tantrums is on a long car journey, when the whole family is confined within a small space inside the car, tired and fractious. As the children begin to squabble amongst themselves and the adults are sorely tempted to pull up in a lay by and escape the...more
