I think it's interesting learning about the different trends that we talked about in class this week about the family. Some were not so significant and others pretty staggering. Like for example the divorce rate and how much cohabitation goes on in our society today. I think these are pretty incredible information to consider and remind our young people to be careful about. So much of what is intended for the happiness of our love ones can sometimes depend on how we take these issues and talk to them about it.
Another important thing that I've learned from this week's discussion is the different walks of life we've all traveled through. Some expressed their concern about who will take care of their younger siblings because before it was them. Others shared that their parents are taking second jobs and even mothers are out there in the work force. I believe moms should stay home and tend to the children, organize or prepare meals. That's the way it should be. But listening to some in class, they say that it's not a big deal. I think it is big deal especially for those families with children. Children need to be trained all the time and nourished them with good values. Who else better to do that than mom? They need the daily interaction in the home. Anyway those are my thoughts.
