1. Affection between my mom and dad was shown, but not in a gross way. They would usually kiss when my dad left for work in the mornings, and when they would talk on the phone they would say “I love you” before hanging up. Affection is not a big thing in my family. My mom is more affectionate towards my sisters and I than my dad. She will hug us and tell us that she loves us often. My dad, on the other hand, does not. He only shows affection when something big is happening, like leaving for college or going off to camp for a couple weeks. I know that he does love us, but he does not say it often.
2. My parents seem to be open about their emotions and tell each other what they are feeling. My dad does not handle stress very well, so when he

My mom and dad have a traditional view on life. My mom does all the inside house chores and the cooking. My mom will cook dinner almost every night and has it ready for when my dad get home from work. My dad is in charge of the grilling, so he would cook the meat or vegetables on the grill. My mom also does all the cleaning in the house. She organizes everything and gets the house tidy. My dad never helps clean because my mom has the characteristics of a perfectionist, so she likes things to be done her way. My mom also does most of the grocery shopping. She has a routine and usually goes during the day. If my mom ever sends my dad to the grocery, he always comes home with more than needed, or not enough. So she does not send him …show more content…
Something that I want to do differently than my parents is set aside time for each other daily. It is important to be together and talk about the things that are going on. I wished my parents would have spent time together in the word and in prayer together.
11. I have definitely taken after my mom the most, which I hate to admit. My mother is a clean freak and always wants for things to be in order. I would get so frustrated with her because I did not think it mattered. Now that I am in college and am living in an apartment, I am finding myself wanting things to be in order and clean at all times. My mom is a hospitably person, always inviting people over to our house and cooking for them. I, too, love to have people over and fellowship with them. I find so much joy in cooking a meal for others and sitting down and eating together.
12. My parents are happily married and I have a good relationship with both of them. I cannot even image growing up in a home with divorced parents. I am so thankful for two loving parents that love each other. I think it would be very hard to approach friendships and romantic relationships if my parents were
father will ask how he is doing occasionally. In the end his friendship does not change. But it will
As a maturing adult I now realize the importance of having a strong parental foundation. Throughout my life there have been moments where both parents demonstrated the characteristics of all four basic parenting styles. However, as I aged it became apparent that my parents had successfully found their niche in a parenting style that was analogous with their personality and beliefs. In my father's case it was the authoritative parenting style. With this style he captured my trust and respect; never letting me down. Furthermore, it was my mother's permissive parenting that undeniably contributed towards my love and gratitude for her. There were also instances where my parents influenced my life both positively and negatively. Nevertheless, I am forever grateful for having my parents in my life, for they contributed (and continue to contribute) towards my success as a growing adult.
Back in the day when I was very little, I remember that my dad used to take care of me. He would never let me run around the house when glass could break and hurt me. As I kept growing up my father started to give me more freedom but also gave me more responsibilities; like he wanted me to do the chores of the house, not all of them but some. I knew they were not mine to do, but I still help. When I went off to college and I had to do it all by myself, I realized that my father did good on making me do my laundry, chores, etc., when I was young.
Growing up, my dad worked at a local aluminum plant and my mother was a stay at home parent. They both had very different parenting styles. I was the third child out of four, three girls, two boys (one that lived with us and the other we never saw). My father was more
I never talked to him on a deeper level like I would would with with my mother. My father was always there for me if I ever needed anything. However, he never made any effort to speak to me about sensitive situations. If something that was a touchy subject, he would act awkward and try to avoid the conversation. My dad is a great man, who loves, cares, and would do anything for me. He just does not know how to communicate and speak about things that create a bond between us, the way my mother does.
When my father blew up at my mother we were all expecting him to. The argument of "I want steak" and "I was working all day" was common in our family. I immediately took my mother's side like I usually did because no one in our family appreciates or respects what she does. My father would later grow to regret what he said and apologize. Tonight was different though. My mother usually took my father's comments in stride knowing he really does not mean what he says. But, this time they both exploded at each other and my mother ended up running out of the kitchen upset, retiring to her room.
My parents followed moderately different parenting styles. My mother’s parenting style was strict and extraordinarily Authoritarian, while my dad practiced a mix of Neglectful and Authoritarian parenting. My Father was a workaholic and was not around much. During early childhood, I would be in bed by the time he arrived home from work, so I would rarely see him. He did not get involved with my schoolwork and would rarely show up to piano recitals or swim meets. The few times he did show up, he would ridicule me and tell me I should have done better. Since my
We are not at all physically affectionate, as a general rule we do not verbally express our appreciation for each other very often, and we generally go about our business without bothering each other. My father is a very solitary person, and as a result I do not talk to him very much and we are not extremely close. My mother is much less distant than my father, and I tell her everything. We all view family as important, and we are willing to talk about serious things with each other, but as a whole we do not spend a great deal of time together. The exception is that I am extremely close with my mom, and I am close with my siblings individually, we just do not do things together as a whole very
My father has influenced my life in several ways, for staying in my life he has taught me about priorities and responsibilities. When my dad tells me things he does it in a unpleasant voice, he claims that’s just the way he talks but I
Young people’s future and how they are going to act or communicate with other people they are going to meet in life are depend on their parental love. Parental love is really important for kids because it will shape them into who they are in the future. It gives the children the sense of love and how important it is to have someone take care for them. There are kids that do not know who their parents are or they do not get their parental love even though they live together. Some children resent their parents because their parents do not give them enough attention, time and care for them. They decided to spend their time on the street more than at home because they do not get enough attention from their parents. It’s the parental love that shapes kids into who they are, they want to be loved and care for, and who they want to be with.
In our family there are no defined roles. My parent both worked to maintain our household when my stepfather came along. I was 10 years old. They both worked together in the home as well, as I can remember my dad cooking and cleaning just as regularly as my mother. I do understand that the man is the head of the house hold traditionally and yes my dad was the head of ours but all decisions made were made jointly by both my parents. They raised me to go after whatever it was that I wanted. They also stressed that women can do whatever a man can do in this country and told me not to limit myself because of
I always had, and still have, a very good relationship with my parents. Some things have altered slightly with time but not too much. I used to adore my father. Like most young kids, I thought that my dad was the best thing since sliced bread. My feelings began to shift some as I started to grow up. I began to have my own ideas, and no longer was he always correct. Sometimes he was simply wrong, and pointing this fact out to him sometimes got me into trouble. The punnishments for these deeds taught me more in the long run than they did at that time.
There are so many different types of family relationships. Whatever form a family takes; it is an important part of everyone’s life. My family has played an important role in my life. Good family relationships serve as a foundation to interactions with others. Supportive families will help children to thrive. The quality of the family relationship is more important than the size of the family. Making the relationships priority, communication, and providing support for one another is key to developing relationships. Family relationships are what make up our world today; they shape the ways that we see things and the ways that we do things.
As a young adult lady, I grew up always being told how perfect I truly was, I grew up with the unconditional support of both my parents and a strong center in family orientation. I was blessed with these luxuries and I am forever thankful. Although I control the outcome of my life and I control my thought processes and social behaviors, my family has a big impact on how I carry myself and the aspirations I set for myself. Having a supportive family makes my life easier to endure during rough patches in my life and easier to reach my goals. I’ve endured the heartaches and the painful memories, but I am never alone in my pain. I think my family is the direct cause of my naturally elevated confidence during this vulnerable phase in my life, Although I do not want to give the perception of perfection but this mindset has helped me get through the toughest patches and come out on top, it has helped me dispatch from friends when needed and form positive inferences on how healthy relationships are suppose to look like. All families have some type of unique dysfunction, the dysfunction helps with the development of “ lessons learned”. Every family has different dynamics, some are smaller, some are big, some are closer than others. The only similarity that remains is that they all make an impact on a child 's mental, physical and
There are many benefits to teachings having a good relationship with the student’s family, guardian, or parents. Teachers should begin the school year with building positive relationships with the student’s families. In the book it mentions that there is ongoing research that indicates the benefits of family involvement in children’s education. Some of these benefits mentioned were children earning higher grades, tend to have better attendance, have higher rates of homework completion, and are more motivated and have positive attitudes towards school. Through the reading it also emphasizes on the increase in family involvement in children’s education will result in a decrease in students participating in substance abuse and violence. Students
