Roles of the parent.
| Tue, 03-07-2006 - 3:29am |
I think in the old days men use to tell women the what to do, or what not to do. Today we let other women tell us what is right for us. I have never seen two situations that are the same in any relationship. The roles are changing as we type right now. Women use to think it was worth it to spend as much time at home with their children as time would give them. However, that is not the case today. It is all very sad if you ask me because you have some men that are saying "I will stay home for the kids", and at the same time the women opt not too.I have three girls, the oldest is 8 and the youngest is 3 months , each child has a four yr space. Some parents need duel incomes. I think as children get older it is okay to get work outside the house, but as they are growing and learning new things I would like to see that for myself if I can. I have another year of college and then I will have to work, and I am not looking forward to it. The idea of being away from my children is scary to me. I find it hard to even let them go outside and play. However, I am getting better with it. Both my parents worked, and I recalled how much I wanted to be with my mom. I would have been happy just to go to Walmarts with her, but she never really had the time. It is not a matter of what is right or wrong, but what is the need of the family? Can a family make it on one check? That depends on the location, the home, car, and the life style that the parents want to have. Some could say if you want to be safe, you both have to pay because safe comes with a high price tag. Others could say different. The truth is stay at home moms are on the downfall due to the different types of families today. Is it bad or good, I do not know. However, I can tell you it is life.

well, you've got me there.....each child does have a unique learning style that belongs to them and only them. one child's learning style requires her to be on an iep versus my other child's learning style that is avg and fairing quite well in school. and this is why i find beauty in a traditional setting like public school. you have a traditional landmark that takes in all learning styles........homeschool and private school families have standards and traditions outside public tradition. and i don't think it is necessarily better, just different and alternative.
happy anniversary...i can't believe it's been a year already......i still remember the wedding day photo of all 4 of you that used to be part of your sig.
Ahhh, but CM does! :)
You have probably never heard of Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Sealab (Adult Swim). I am married to an alternative kinda guy.
