...help and, their source of help is their mother and father. A mother and father are the people who have responsibilities over their children. Both parents have different tasks and jobs they do for their children. As a parent, they both have very different obligations. The responsibilities a mother has are very different compared to the responsibilities a father has. A mother’s job is to nurture her child, and a father’s job is to protect his child. A mother’s obligations for her child start right away. From the moment the baby begins to grow in her womb, the list of responsibilities begins. A mother is responsible for safely carrying her baby in her womb for nine months. She has to do everything carefully and cautiously. The baby in a mother’s belly is so fragile. A mother also has to watch what she is eating and drinking during her pregnancy. For nine whole months, a mother is sacrificing her wants and desires in order to create a healthy child. After the baby is born, even more responsibilities come a mother’s way. A mother is responsible for nurturing her child. She’s there to care for and encourage the growth of her child. If her child is hurt, the mother is expected to take care of him and make him feel better. If he is sick, the mother is the one that stands by his side, making sure that all his needs are met. A mother usually cooks and cleans for her children. She makes sure her kids are living in a nice, healthy environment. A mother is a child’s go-to person. If there is...

...little girl's dream is to have both her mother and father in their life. To cherish every single moment with her parents, create memories, and to reminisce about all the times they had. It was always my wish to have both Mommy and Daddy in my life, but my story is different. At the age of seventeen my mother gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and named her Niah Dominique Cummings. Growing up, I knew for a fact that I had my mother in my life, but I hardly ever saw my father. I came to my senses that there was no father. My mother finally filled me in and told me that my father had moved to Atlanta, Georgia two days after I was born. Which basically meant he was not there the day I was born. It was heartbreaking to hear, but I had to face it. I didn't know what it felt like to have that father figure in my life. To have Daddy tuck me in at night, telling me every day how beautiful I was, to give me kisses on the cheek or forehead, to drop me off at school every morning, or to even tell me that I was his little princess. All I had was my mother, who had struggled since she was sixteen years old. The year before I was born my mother gave birth to a handsome, talented, intelligent, and smart young man. She named him Kazre Lamont Cummings. He is my older brother and is now seventeen years old. The year after I was born, she had another boy who was given the name Darnell Taylor Robert Jr., following after his father. At a young age my mother had to take on the full responsibility...

...Are Fathers Necessary for Children’s Well-Being? Abraham Bartoah [Institutional Affiliation(s)] Taking Sides: Clashing Views in Gender Abstract The content of this essay is to observe my opinion on fathers and how they impact growth of a child. This essay will note from the text researches conducted on others view on the topic. Also it will explain in detail my thought and opposition I have after reading the text. Are Fathers Necessary for Children’s Well-Being? Since Adam and Eve the idea of there being a mother and father to raise a child has existed. But most certainly since then the world and ways of life have changed drastically. In today society many can argue the importance of having father around to raise a child. It can also be argued that father or no father a child can grow up to just as healthy and able as a child raised with both parents. From personal experience the need of a father in a child growth is not crucial. Being a boy doesn’t mean that only a male can teach you to be a man. There are many aspects to child growth that anyone can provide whether it’s a mother and father, just a father or just a mother. I feel that child growth is more based on the personality and attitudes that that child is surrounded by. According to professor Natasha J. Cabrera and the EHS studies they suggest that a father who has a highs school degree or higher have their children performing better in development. this in my opinion isn’t accurate. The test conducted where only conducted...

...patient enough with their child to refuse love to them. If there are conditions, what may they be? If these conditions put either child or parent at risk for diminished quality of life, may it just be better to lose the love for a parent or child? I grew up in a small suburban community, like many other American kids. My father worked for the Department of Defense and my mother was a hairdresser. My father worked long days and my mother would be the one to watch over us most of the time. Of course my brother and I would get into trouble as little boys do. I was always worse than my brother when it came to disobeying rules and basically causing havoc. The typical punishment for just about any offensive minor or major was a spanking. Common in the time I know and even more common in my mothers’ time as she was raised in a very Christian, “Spare the rod spoil the child” type household. I hated getting spankings and every time it happened it made me hate my mother a little bit. It’s not that she was the only one to dish out punishments; my father spanked us as well, although he did prefer his belt to hand spanking. But it was the minor differences that made me not hate my...

...hen children are born they are ultimately raised with two parents, a mother and a father. My mother raised me and my sister alone with the help of no one else, my dad just wasn't there. I feel like children that are raised without one of the parents tend to be lacking something when they are little or even more as they grow up. As a child I would see my friends with their fathers and I would say why don't I have one of those. Always questioning why I only have a mother and not a father. Parents should both assume responsibilities in raising a child under whatever circumstances. At least be there for your child if you can’t do anything else. How I feel is you made this child and basically abandoning your child is showing how much you really do not have a care in the world for your child. Sometimes it is necessary but if your life is completely fine and you just feel that you don’t need to be there for your kid then thats not assuming a responsibility that you’ve created. I’m not saying that criminals should be allowed to be around children, but under some circumstances you should always take care of your responsibilities. Women typically don't need a male companion to raise a boy into a strong man because they always seem to make it happen, but it helps a whole lot. A strong man is not about being physically fit. It is a man who can operate as an independent individual in the adult world. Dominance is not the fundamental of a relationship; love is. If either companion cannot...

...“ The Goddess of Education” -SARASVATHI- Sarasvathi is the person who brought me to this wonderful earth from her womb. She is my mother who had carried me along for almost nine months in her belly regardless where she goes or what she does. Her name itself carries a great meaning within it, which is “The Goddess of Education” in the Hinduism. For a woman who is 55 year old now, she has all the experiences needed by a normal human as she had gone through many stages in life which are commonly considered as hardship and difficulties by others. It all started when she was a kid. At the age of five, her father passed away. Being the fifth child out of six children in her family, she did not realise the loss as she was only a small kid by then.

...My father’s qualities Who has good qualities affect to you? With me, I have met many people have good qualities, but my father’s good qualities affect to me so much. My father is not the most perfect in the world but the way he lives, and the way he keep in touch with other people teach me a lot. The best his qualities are caring, helpful and fun. First, he is a caring person. This his quality makes people around him so amazing because in my country, most of the men don’t like that. They just go out for work and bring money back. My father work too, but he also take care of his family very well. When I was young, my mother was busy therefore my father fed me up, took a shower, and washed clothes for me. Sometimes, he also sang a song to make me sleep. When I grew up, he gave me a drive to go to school. He also helps my mother cook dinner every night, and he also teaches me to study Math. For specific, the first day I came here, I called for my mother, my voice was change because I cried too much, but lie her that I was sick. However, when I talked with my father, he realized that, he told me to be stronger, he can share everything with me, and I should stop to share. Why he can know that?

That reason is because he always follows me, take care me, and spend his time to look at me so he can realize all...

...greatest respect for is my mother. She went through many obstacle in life just to raise my brother and I. She is not only very capable but also a single-parent. My mother left my father when I was 12 years-old. Her job wasn’t stable and my brother and I were very naughty, we were not willing to study and without a fierce father, it was like freedom to us. Many times my mother wanted to bring us back to our father, but still she never gave up. Soon my brother and I learnt that it wasn’t easy to be a single-parent and we wouldn’t want to go back to the tormenting life under my father. We realised that what we have now is because of all the effort my mother put in. She established her own company which was a printing company. My teachers in school knew my mother was a single parent. They kept telling me, my mother is very capable. That is when I started to realise that if I kept playing and did not bother about my studies it will put more pressure to my mother. After some time, my mother’s company did not go well and it was closed down. But she was quick and experienced, soon she set up another company under my brother’s, my mother’s and my name, DMI Productions. I really admire the way she did things and how capable she is. Although sometimes she scolds me, I never disrespect her. I knew my mother was the best and I am really lucky to have her as my mother. I started to do well in my studies until today, because I know that no matter what I must make my mother happy as she gave...

...AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY While trying to come to a conclusion about what variable I wanted to study for my naturalistic observation, I thought to myself, “Wow, why am I stressing so hard about what I want to do for research?” This was because, the whole time that I was anxiously scrambling back and forth about which study I wanted to do, there was already one right in front of my eyes the whole time. For the past few months I have been working at a daycare, a place where children are dropped off by their parents when they need to do things on their own and can pick them up whenever is necessary. The daycare that I work at is family ran and takes place inside their very own home. The inside of the house portrays a peaceful setting with warm, cozy colors in the living room to make you feel relaxed and bright, energetic colors in other rooms that leave you feeling happy and comfortable. The daycare provider, Debbie, has been working with children for 40 years. She is a very well known person throughout the community and treats the kids she works with as if they are her own. After thinking for a while about what I wanted to do as a study, I decided that I wanted to do something involving children and the relations/interactions that they have with their parents. Seeing how I work at a daycare, I do not really get to see much of the interaction that the children and parents have with each other. That is the whole point of a daycare, parents separating from their children for...

...Puerto Rican mother that was strict, in your face, no nonsense, and a loving mother and by a Dominican father that was care free, laid back, funny, easy to talk too, and loving. I guess I can say I had the best of both worlds due to the fact that I am half Puerto Rican and half Dominican. Even though I identify myself with my Puerto Rican side a lot more than I can identify with my Dominican side. I still love the fact that even though Dominicans are Hispanic and we speak somewhat the same language Puerto Rican and Dominicans are so different in the way that we live, eat, raise our children, educated themselves. My father’s upbringing was a very comfortable one due to the fact that my Grand Father was rich. Sugar cane being big on the islands, my Grand Father had many which contributed to the money in our family. My father being the oldest of ten would make you think that he had the most responsibility when in actuality it was the opposite. When my father was 18 he went off to war and was smuggled out of the Dominican Republic into Mexico, he fought for a short period of time. At the end of that time he ended up in New York. In New York, my father was the manager of a dry cleaning business for the rich and the famous, among those Rockefeller was one of his clients. My mother’s upbringing on the other hand was a very poor, very strict one, due to the fact that she was the third oldest of seven children. My Grand Father on my mother’s side was a mechanic while my Grand Mother...

Tom had wanted to help America win over their land, where he could have freedom, and have a chance of excitement as a solider. Father disagreed with him entirely. He had always had been loyal to the king. Never had any of him lied under his name. As my father stormed off, my mom started to weep and I put my head down. I glanced at the paper and saw horrifying titles. “THE BRITISH FIGHTS BACK FROM THE BOSTON TEA PARTY!” had been written in huge black letters. I quickly looked away, carried my plate to the water basin, and helped my mother up. I still remember the first bang go off when the Americans had been first seen dead. As the lights soon came down, and all the noise I could have heard was from my dad cursing over his breath of rum, and I soon fell asleep with the fear of anxiety. The next...
