   Joyce, a sixty-year old widow recently completed a degree in business management and opened her own business.  She has been looking forward to this new challenge.  She has just heard that her son has been left with two small children to care for.

       She is considering two options. She can plan to give up her business and live with her son, or she can arrange for financial assistance for her son to cover the child-care costs.
