Today, in western industrialized nations, the decision whether or not to have children is, as Berk (2004) describes it a “….matter of individual choice” (p.460). This contrasts with many non western nations where what Michaels (1988, cited in Berk, 2004) describes childbearing as, “…an unavoidable cultural demand” (p.460).

The first challenge that the William’s family is currently facing in this situation is Steven’s struggle with his transition to parenthood and the subsequent lack of support he is providing to Hannah. The family welcomed a baby girl into their family 8 weeks ago, and both parents will be experiencing a transition. For Hannah, she already has a child and her transition is primarily adjusting to having a newborn and working out a routine for caring for both of her children. This baby is Steven’s first child and his transition includes taking on the new role of a father. Steven has described his deceased father as a harsh disciplinarian who was not warm and occasionally physically enforced discipline. This may influence his own fatherly traits

Most of the time, children have a great impact on a relationship. Before children, couples usually tend to spend a lot of time together and have more energy and money (Wood, 2010). Once children turn the relationship into a family, couples have less time together along with less energy and money (Wood, 2010). Our communications go from long and stimulating conversations about anything and everything to mostly about the children. We all know that becoming a parent is hard, but until we do, we never realize exactly how hard it really is (Wood, 2010). I interviewed five parents, two of them being a married couple, on how becoming parents impacted

After watching these videos, I feel that social expectation and regulation play an important role that affect the transition to parenthood.The traditional roles of women used to be mothers and wives, and their social status was lower than men. With the development of society, it is not necessary to keep these traditional ideology nowadays.

Does “sixteen and pregnant” promote, or discourage teen pregnancy? Although, “sixteen and pregnant shows some of the struggles of being a teenage parent, it doesn’t show all. MTV has given a show to children, for having children. They have put a glorification on getting pregnant at a young age. Instead of teaching and telling them what the outcome of their life could be if they are to have children while there still a child themselves. On the show they give false hope of still being able to be a regular teen. Going out with friends partying, drinking, and smoking. After dropping there kid off with a relative or parent. They don’t show children as being a responsibility. There are younger viewers who watch

The woman I plan to wed is smart, gorgeous, funny, hardworking, and sweeter than her favorite Splenda. She also has a four-year-old son, who is a great kid. He is smart, well-adjusted, and precocious. But it's obvious that I need to keep some New Year's resolutions in mind as I prepare for step-fatherhood in 2012. 1.) Become more comfortable with assertive fathering. As the non-parent, it is easy to sit back and let the parent step in when the kid gets out of line. Certainly, and especially as a male, I do not want to be seen yelling at a tyke in public, lest people worry that I am some sort of child-abusing criminal. I often stand by, mute, as my fiance chastises her scowling son for whatever misbehavior or tantrum he has just committed.

Its hard to be a child of a single mother. When I was 4 year old I born myself with hot water because I didn’t listen. My momma worked late nights so I would have to stay at my grandma’s house. One night I was staying over there and my mom came to get me after she got off work. It was late at night and I was hungry so when we got home she warmed me up a hot dog in the microwave then took it out and set it on the counter and she wit to the bathroom as she was going in there she told me not to pick up the blow because I was not a big girl yet and to go get the fork across the room so I wanted to prove to her that I was a big girl so I picked up the blow and start walking towards the fork. As I was walking I dropped the blow on me. At that moment

August 15,1998 I was born in Miami Florida. To a single mother, my father who is absent in my life, was late while my mother was in labor. My mother felt no pain while conceiving me, unlike most women who scream in agony, she believes that was a sign from God declaring my fate. My mother says I am destiny for greatness, and I believe her. Growing up was fun, I was very blessed and well taken care of. Being the only child of a single mother was quite boring, but I always got what I wanted. In my youth, I traveled a ton, mostly wherever my mother could find work, she was a LPN (License Practical Nurse) with an abundant amount of experience, which gave her an edge in the work force. I can recall living in Georgia, Homestead, Antigua, and the Bahamas.

Being a single mother of two has given me many responsibilities. From early morning's too late nights. Being a mother has changed my life for the better. I enjoy being able to be a full-time mom and full-time student. The only downfall is that being a single parent makes it harder to have time to volunteer and participate in my community, as I would like to do. I hope to one day soon be involved in my community and be able to volunteer. And as my children get older; to be able to bring them along as well because I feel it is important for everyone including kids to lend a helping hand to those in need. Exposing them to do volunteer work will help shape them for the better. Doing community work is definitely in my list of goals this year since

My daughter Reagan turned a precocious four on January 16th of this year. Looking back, I remember the very moment I saw her make her way into this world. In that instant, every possible human emotion plugged into one as they make their way down the Assembly Line of Life cut through me like a hot knife cuts through butter. That emotional roller coaster moment was a tortuous lay down of the facts that I was not remotely ready to be a father, as I was both ill-prepared, and ill-equipped. However, I like so many fathers before was proceeding forward at full steam ahead, blindly moving into the uncharted territory of Fatherhood. Looking back, I can remember very clearly seeing my dad’s

Many different aspects of life characterize motherhood. Traditions along with society influence the role of motherhood. Carol Stacks' "All our Kin," is an essay about the "structuring of kin groups" (1974, p.47). In the society, if the mother is not mature enough to raise the child, a close female relative takes on the role of the mother; whereas, the man has the option of choosing to claim the child and take on the responsibilities of fatherhood or he can imply that the father could be anyone, which is a socially acceptable reason. Ruth Horowitz' "The Expanded Family and Family Honor," portrays a Mexican Family as a "nuclear family unit" within an "expanded family" (1983, p.64). After marriage, motherhood is an expected
