Recommended: Essays on challenges that a single parent face

On July 25, 1997, a baby was birthed into this world to two young, anxious parents. No human is born into this world neither loving nor hating someone, in other words to love or hate someone it has to be taught for them to feel that way towards a person. The second commandment states that, “Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself,” meaning love should be issued out equally. Love is the strongest emotion people have; as a result feelings get hurt when the opposite person’s love isn’t the same. I learned the value of family from my early childhood, my dad, and home experiences. “Choo, Chooo!” there goes another train chugging along the train tracks every thirty minutes. Most people are who they are today from their childhood or …show more content…

Being in a single parent household teaches to love that parent more, because that person is always there when you have no one else to turn to. Being a single parent can be quite hectic, for instance, having to work, keep up with housework, keep bills paid, and take care of their child or children. My mom is a single parent of five plus an additional child, who is my cousin, of whom my mom has full custody of. My mom’s love has been unconditional throughout my whole life, for the reason that she never failed in her job in caring for her responsibilities. My mom mostly shows tough love, from being raised by her granddad, reason being she’s raising her kids to be independent individuals. I can see in her eyes that she wishes she could give us the world, but she can only give us partial of what she can meet the expense of. Being in a single parent home has trained me to take my relationship seriously. I believe that you should love your spouse as you would love yourself, if you were the person loving you. If and when I start a family, I want to be married and satisfied, for the reason that no child should have to live in a single parent home. Beyond doubt, my participation at home has opened my eyes to adore and appreciate my family more than

  • Southern View of Religion in Lillian Smith’s Killers of the Dream

    812 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Our first lesson about God made the deepest impression on us. We were told that He loved us, and then we were told that He would burn us in everlasting flames of hell if we displeased Him. We were told we should love Him for He gives us everything good that we have, and then we were told that we should fear Him because He has the power to do evil to us whenever He cares to. We learned from this part of the lesson another: that “people,” like God and parents, can love you and hate you at the same time; and though they may love you, if you displease them they may do you great injury; hence being loved by them does not give you protection from being harmed by them. We learned that They (parents) have a “right” to act in this way because God does, and that They in a sense represent God, in the family.”

  • A Raisin in the Sun: The Foundation of Family

    1191 Words  | 3 Pages

    The idea of family is a central theme in Lorraine Hansberry’s play A Raisin in the Sun. Hansberry alludes to the Old Testament book of Ruth in her play to magnify “the value of having a home and family”(Ardolino 181). The Younger family faces hardships that in the moment seem to tear them apart from one another, but through everything, they stick together. The importance of family is amplified by the choices of Walter and Beneatha because they appear to initiate fatal cracks in the Younger family’s foundation, but Mama is the cement who encourages her family to pull together as one unit. The hardships of the family help develop a sense of unity for the Younger household.

  • As I Lay Dying: The Love Of Family

    Ah, love. Love is so often a theme in many a well-read novel. In the story, As I Lay Dying, one very important underlying theme is not simply love, but the power to love. Some of the characters have this ability; some can only talk about it. Perhaps more than anyone, Addie and Jewel have this power- one which Jewel, by saving his mother twice, merges with his power to act. As the Bible would have it, he does "not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth" (1 John 3:18).

    So in every way a child is better off being with both parents rather than with only one; given that there is not some kind of abuse in the home. Again, this is not to beat up on single parents because I am one myself. I do believe single parents give it their all and they probably even give more because they are giving for two. I know first-hand that single parents give everything they have got and more, because there is no other way to survive. I absolutely commend all of those single moms and dads for giving everything they’ve got to be both parents rolled into one and to love for

  • Bonds between Mothers and Daughters in Breath, Eyes, Memory and the Joy Luck Club

    1624 Words  | 4 Pages

    Breath, Eyes, Memory  and the Joy Luck Club both describe the bonds between mothers and daughters. The relationships between the mother and daughter depicted in BEM and JLC is largely influenced by a foreign culture conflicting with the American culture. However, that is where the similarities end for the two novels. After reading the Joy Luck Club, my interest in Chinese culture was increased due to the fact that it is a deep-rooted culture very old and with a powerful philosophy. After reading Breath, Eyes, Memory, I have no interest in learning more about Haiti. The culture seems very dark, depressing and void of intelligent thought.

  • Affection Between My Mother And Dad Essay

    1210 Words  | 3 Pages

    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.

  • My Family: My Mother, My Role Model

    1007 Words  | 3 Pages

    Many of us have role models in our lives and to most people role models are athletes and movie stars, but to me a role model is much more. To me a role model is a person who has positively influenced someone in life, and is not a person filled with selfishness and greed. They help shape someone’s personality, and characteristics. They are people who someone can look up to for advice in a hard situation, and know that they will give those words of wisdom. They will never judge our past actions, instead only look to help because they really care. A role model is someone who we should never feel awkward talking to about our problems. A perfect role model for me is my mother. She is a wonderful human being. She’s smart, wise, ambitious, patient and such a loving person. There are no words that can describe my gratitude towards her, but through this essay I will describe some of her characteristics that makes her my role model.
