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
I would rather be a parent today, and not in 1960. The reason being is, I was born now and not before 1960. I only know how to parent a child now and I am quite accustomed to what it takes to raise a child now.
• How do you feel about the parenting decisions that you made? Would you have changed your choices at all if you saw some outcomes while you were making the decisions, rather than having to wait for consequences to unfold?
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.
...child. I had no choice but to shape up and make a way for the both of us. Having a child made me realize that life is not all fun and games as my mother would say. I learned that in life there are responsibilities. I truly believe that had I not had a child at an early age, I would still be a wild absentminded party girl and who knows what else may have happened.
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.
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 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.
My adult life is going by so fast my husband and I started having children immediately
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.
Becoming a mom at sixteen was the hardest thing I have ever done. Trying to work, go to school and take care of my daughter seemed impossible. My mom was always there to support me, but from the moment I found out I was pregnant I was determined to do it on my own. When you become a mom at sixteen the paths you can take in life change, and you are no longer a teenage you become an adult really fast.
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
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.
I had to mature quickly and learn how to take care of someone else besides myself. I am now a mother to four children. They have taught me how to have patience. This has become something I value very much. I have learned that in life you must wait for things. I now know that there was a reason why I had my son so early and wasn’t able to go to college upon graduating high school. I am so thankful that I had patience and waited for the right time to enter. It has been 14 years since I graduated high school, and I’m attending college and know exactly what I want to become. I had patience and took care of my babies at home before I decided to go to school. It hasn’t always been easy, but I’m so glad I
