What are your children 's strengths? The biggest strength that all my children hold is their ability to be self-reliant. My children do basically everything on their own and therefore they barley want me to do anything for them, in a way that is kind of sad, But I have to realize I do not have babies anymore.
16. What would you like to change about your child? There is nothing that I would change about my children, even though they have faults, I love them just the way they are. Through work and dedication any issues that we may have we will work them out together.
17. How would you evaluate your total parenting experience? The experience of becoming a parent has been the greatest joy of my life. I feel like becoming a parent has gave meaning to my life that I did not know before I had children. Even though I began having children when I was very young, there is nothing about the experience that I would change.
18. Do you wonder how life would be without children? I use to wonder a lot after I had my first child how different my life would be if I had waited. Due to the joy I have felt with my children, I feel as if everything has fallen into
Would you rather be a parent today or in 1960? Explain your choice. If you were a parent, would you plan to stay at home with the children, work, or do both? Include references from our text to substantiate your thoughts.
The event of childbirth is one that changes a person’s life. Women dream all their lives of holding their newborn child and raising them to be fine young men and women. Couples try, sometimes through many long and time-consuming methods, to conceive a child. And when that little bundle of life is born, nothing in the world is as wonderful.
Having a stable parental foundation is crucial in raising a healthy child. Furthermore, deciding on the parenting style of preference also plays a significant factor in ensuring the development of a flourishing child. Certainly there were flaws in my parent’s parenting methods, having made both positive and negative influences in my progression through my childhood. With the intentions of becoming a parent in the near future I hope I can one day provide my children with the same healthy experience that my own father and mother have.
It was August 25, 2006 and I just received the news that I was going to have a baby. At that moment so many thoughts ran through my mind. I was extremely nervous and terr...
Ever since then I had to grow up with an unhealthy relationship with my mother and I couldn’t have a relationship with my siblings since I didn’t have any. The responsibility fell on me to provide for her, family, and friends. When you’re that young with so much responsibility you think serious thoughts. I promised myself that whenever I had kids I would take them everywhere, do everything with them, be together, and give them everything I never had.
I am five months pregnant and single, I am in a situation that I never thought that I would have to face. As far as life experiences go, I can truly tell you that dealing with pregnancy at eight-teen is truly a life changing and stressful event.
13. I would like to be just like Abraham, but in different ways. He is devoted to god and shows passion in everything he does. I want to show passion in everything I do. He felt life intesley and fought for what he believed in. He wasn't afraid to move far away. I admire that. I would be willing to move across the country.
The RealCare baby has affected a few of my plans for life after high school. The RealCare project has made me realize that it is a good idea to wait a few years for children. The baby scared me at first, I thought oh no what if I don’t wake up? That event made me think what if I don’t wake up for a real baby. I will definitely wait to have kids. I will try and go to college first and graduate. I will not be ready for a child in the near future which is okay; I’m sixteen and not in a big hurry. The window of opportunity is still wide open.
Growing up I was always told to enjoy being young; now I see why. A plethora of young teens today become pregnant in high school. I just so happen to be one of those girls. I would have to say it was a life changing experience for me. As a result, the parallelism between the aspects of my life as a teenager and as a teen mom are stress, responsibility and my emotions.
I was born in 1998. In 2001 Isabella was born, then in 2004 Joshua came along. Both of them changed me in small ways, but they paled in comparison to how the sibling I got in 2008 changed me. My mother brought home Zachary when I was nine and he immediately had me wrapped around his little finger. Two years passed and everything took an unexpected turn when Zachary was diagnosed with autism.
The birth of my daughter was an amazing experience for me, but it also showed me how strong of a woman I married. Nine months earlier, my wife decided to have our daughter without any pain medications or an epidural. She was going to give birth naturally. She was very careful in choosing what she ate and drank, since our daughter consumed everything my wife consumed. Through our research, we found that natural childbirth results in less complications and a quicker recovery for the mother and child. Natural child birth is not for everyone, but she told me later that she would do it again.
My adult life is going by so fast my husband and I started having children immediately
Becoming a mother has been the best part of my life. I became a mother at a very young age. I had no idea what to expect and was not in the least prepared for the journey that lie ahead. I have truly embraced motherhood and enjoy all the wonderful things it has taught me. While living through motherhood, I have found that it can teach you the most valuable lessons there are to learn. Being a mother has taught me how to have patience. I have also learned that being a mother takes a lot on mental and physical strength. My children have been the best to teach me how to juggle many tasks at once. They have made me strong. Even through some unexpected turns, I have learned how to get through hard times and really learn what it means to never give up. My children are my biggest blessing, and I hope they will learn valuable lessons through me. The skills I have learned from being a mother have helped me in my college journey.
If I could have one do-over in life, I would want to have a childhood. As my siblings and I were growing up, our mother was unstable; my mothers drank alcohol and used drugs to mask her pain. As a result, I was an 11 year old child acting as a mother by caring for three children that I didn't birth. For instance, I would clean the house, cook meals, make sure their homework was complete before the next school day and make sure they were bathed. Somedays, I wouldn't make it to school if one of my siblings was sick, so that I could stay home and care for them; other times I would go days without eating just so my siblings could eat. At a very young age, I had a big responsibility, ultimately forcing me to grow up fairly quickly. In fact, I missed
I choose the number one of the myth the author present in this chapter “Motherhood is the ultimate fulfillment of a woman. It is a natural and necessary experience for all the women. Those who do not want to mother are psychological disturbed and those who want to but cannot are fundamentally deprived”. The reason I choose that one was for understand and respect all those feelings and I am sure be a mother is a unique and inexplicable achievement. Didn’t have the opportunity to be a mother made for many years at list very curious about how I could feeling if I have the opportunity to be a mother. I choose during my marriage do not have a child because my relationship was not a model of stable or happy marriage. I was very afraid how that insecurity
