Parenting

-
So, this week in class we were talking about parenting. With that we pretty much talked about almost everything that pertains to parenting. So why parent? Well first we are the ones who decided to have kids in the first place. Automatically we are the parents and our children need someone to guide them along in life. Parents are mainly the ones responsible for making sure that their kids are educated in all aspects. Parents need to make sure that parenting is one of their central primary roles. Mainly parenting involves both the father and the mother. Not all families are like that. Some examples we came up with were, the mom raising the kids or even the dad just raising the kids. In other cases, the children would be sent to live with other family members like grandparents, uncles, and aunts. While other kids were sent to day cares, military schools or even boarding schools.

Engagement and Marriage

-
This we were discussing the topic of engagement, and marriage. We mainly covered the tasks of engagement, the purpose of marriage, and early marital adjustments. Neither of these are easy.

Things that affect the family

-
This week we were talking about how different things can affect the family. We made a list that contained some of the topics such as: location, housing and surroundings, possessions, employment, quality of life, health, and clatter vs clutter. Everything on this list can affect the family in a big way. I never really thought of how your possessions can affect the way you live. If you think about your live with all the stuff you have, it’s not too bad. Say we take away a couch. How might that affect a person’s life. They just don’t have another place to sit. Now take a person’s bed, car, stove, and even a kitchen table away, things might change a little bit. Just think about how your life might change if some of your important and necessary possessions were gone. There was one thing that wasn’t on the list that we did end up talking about and that was the influence of the father. What does the father do in the home? Typically, he is the one that fixes things around the house, teaches...
