Raising a family is difficult enough. But it's even more difficult for single parents struggling to make ends meet. They don't need more obstacles. They need more opportunities.

There is only one way to solve the alleged crisis of the erosion of 'family values.' And that is to get right down to the root cause of the problem.

There are no adequate substitutes for father, mother, and children bound together in a loving commitment to nurture and protect. No government, no matter how well-intentioned, can take the place of the family in the scheme of things.

There are so many ebbs and flows in life, but when you're raising small children, your family means everything.

A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss... That's the trade-off. But I'll take it all.

One wants to be together with one's family. That's what families are about.

I have a great family myself so I know if you don't have a family you've got nothing. Nothing else can take the place of the family - not girlfriends or a career.

With the amount of money I have, it's difficult raising children the way I was raised.

Families in real life don't tend to resolve things neatly.

Growing up in a lower-income family, you don't have the resources to make ends meet and you have to find creative ways to get by.
