Chores

In class our teacher had us write a letter of someone maybe apposing chores for children. No one would think that by not having your children do chores would hurt your children the most. By not having them do chores we are not teaching them responsibility, dependability, and respect. If a parent does not do their job of being a parent then a roommate, teacher or leader will have to do their job for them and that is not far. We as parents and future parents need to teach our children these lessons, of course in the correct manner.

We talked about parenting and different ways of communicating with your teenager, and when I think about parenting it is scary because we are raising the future generation and we as parents can have them leave a mark on the world in a positive way or a negative way.

Being Equeal with Parents

My generation does not respect their parents I can say that because I don't, I am guilty as well and becoming old is a humbling experience what we need to respect and honor these wise people who gave us advice through all our troubled times. A goal for everyone should be is to teach start being respectful and teach our childeren respect.

It is sad to see how television programs have changed not only in the pasted but also just in my time period. How things like a man and women who were not married could not be shown sleeping in the same bed and now everything can be shown. Love is shown as lust and our world seems to revolve around it.

Family Counsel

We talked about different ways of counseling with our families, which is intersting becasue I wonder if this for most families but I feel like we do not communitacate very well in my family how important it is do have communication and counsel with the whole family.

We all may think that dating would prepare us more marriage but really is what that means is courtship is a step towards marriage.

I did not realize the difference between marriage and two people living together and that two people living together have more stresses and is less of a healthy relationship compared to the relationship between a married couple.

 

 

Social Class

I have realized that I am trying to be something I am not to get out of the social class that I grew up in. No, matter how old we are it seems like our lives are a glorified high school where there are still clicks. I find it sad that no matter how old we are, grown adults never grew out of being like teenagers.

Body Language

I learned a few weeks ago that body language can be deceiving and I found myself reading people completely wrong on what I thought their body language was telling me.

In class this week we discussed five topics that happen in our society everyday and they are; divorce, child bearing, delayed marriage, cohabitation, and employed Mother. We then were asked as a class to put these topics into three different categories that were; critical, significant and no big deal. I think depending on a person’s values, background, experience and culture would determine where they might put all of these five topics.
