If you face an argument every night when it comes to bedtime, you are not alone. For many families, bedtime is the most stressful part of the entire day. Children may feel tired, but still be reluctant to go to sleep. Kids often feel as if they are going to miss something, so they want to be included in everything. If they know their parents are still moving around downstairs, they will be curious about what is going on without them. In other cases, kids have a fear of being alone in their dark bedrooms or they even fear falling asleep. This anxiety can lead to bedtime excuses such as listening to endless stories, needing drink after drink of water or simply not being able to settle down at the end of the day. In some cases, the anxiety begins early in the evening and things escalate into a full-blow fight by nine or ten at night. Many of these bedtime dramas can be avoided if you plan ahead and think about how you can best help your child. Typically kids are not acting out to get on your nerves, although it may seem like it some time. If you can help them through the real problem, the annoying behavior may go away.

Childless and Empty Nesters: Get Insured A lot of people living without children, married or not, have the reckless minds of youth. They think that if they die, it doesn't matter to anyone. It won't put a burden on anyone. Or, if they are worried about their spouse, they think that there is enough money to take care of him or her, or that he or she has a job, or the house is paid off and they don't need the income.There's a problem with this thinking.It's wrong.The fact is, we insure our lives for more reasons than simple financial security for children or relatives. However, even if you think you don't have to worry about financial security for them because you are wealthy, think again!Starting in 2011, the Estate Tax is going to be a significant obstacle to passing on wealth in the event of the property-holder's death. With an estate worth $1 million, 40% of the value passing on to a spouse or relative will be taxed! So, from $1 million your spouse only get $600k. Now is that enough to maintain all the other properties, payments, and the standard of living that he or she is used to without your income? If it's not, you may have to rethink getting a policy.The death payout...more
