THIS DOMAIN WAS ORIGINALLY FOR THE SOLO PURPOSE OF THE CHILDREN SO THEY COULD MAKE CONTACT WITH THE WORLD OF THE INTERNET WEB AND AT THE SAME TIME ENJOY THE DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF THEIR VERY OWN PAGES.

COMPUTERS AND THE INTERNET ARE PART OF THE FUTURE, AND WHETHER WE LOVE THEM OR FEAR THEM WITH A PASSION, THEY'RE HERE TO STAY.

SCHOOLS HAVE SO LITTLE TIME TO DEVOTE TO COMPUTERS AND EVEN LESS TIME TO DEVOTE TO THE INTERNET AND WEB PAGES. SO THERE'S METHOD IN MY MADNESS WHEN I BOUGHT THE DOMAIN, BUT I THEN SUDDENLY REALISED THAT THE POWER OF THE INTERNET COULD ALSO BE PUT TO GOOD USE IN ANOTHER WAY.

(KILLING TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE.)

BEING A SINGLE PARENT IS VERY DIFFICULT AND THE ONES' WHO ARE NOT JUST DON'T APPRECIATE THE PROBLEMS US "ONE PARENT FAMILIES" ENCOUNTER IN OUR DAY TO DAY LIVES. WORK, COURTS, BENEFITS, NON-RESIDENT PARENTS, MONEY, EDUCATION, STIGMA, SOCIAL SERVICES, WORRY, DEPRESSION, RELATIONSHIPS, HOUSING, TO NAME BUT A FEW...........THE LIST IS ENDLESS.

TO BE ABLE TO JUST TALK TO SOMEONE WHO HAS ALREADY ENCOUNTERED SOME OF THE PROBLEMS, CAN SOMETIMES TAKE A GREAT WEIGHT OF YOUR SHOULDERS. SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN THERE, DONE IT, AND SEEN THE VIDEO.

A SINGLE PARENTS CLUB WORLD WIDE, WITH MEMBERS WHO COULD CONTACT EACH OTHER EITHER VIA EMAIL OR A BULLETIN BOARD AND GET FIRST HAND ADVICE, CAN'T BE ALL THAT BAD AN IDEA. LINKS FROM THIS WEBSITE TO OTHER INFORMATIVE PAGES, LIKE WEBRINGS, PLUS THE BULLETIN BOARD AND AN INFORMATIVE WEEKLY NEWSPAPER WAS THE IDEA IN MIND.

JOINING SIX WEBSITE DOMAINS TOGETHER USING ONE SERVER TO MAKE ONE OF THE LARGEST CLUB'S ON THE NET TODATE, WAS THE HARD PART FOR ME AND FOR BRENDAN.
MY THANKS TO HIM FOR ALL HIS HELP OVER IN IRELAND!

Thank you for your interest,

Best Wishes GARETH CROSSLEY.
