Week 7: Parental Roles
This whole course has made me look at the bigger picture in life. I have been guilty for a long of living in the present. Sometimes I do things without any thought of the future ramifications. The entire course has taught me to be responsible for my actions. This week’s material made me think of my childhood and how my parents raised me. I began to think about how I would raise my children in the future. Two things stuck in my mind more than anything. As a young child my parents got divorced and I was also the only child. I didn’t have a bad childhood or anything but these are two parts of my life that I wish could have been different. Aside from being a good role model I want to always be there for my children. I also want to have more than one child.
I found a website that helped me along with the readings. It discusses how parental roles should be defined but are always evolving as your children grow up.
