Narcissistic parents

I have had many great days, but the most memorable day in my life was August 6, 2004 when I gave birth to the most precious gift one could ask for. A handsome bouncing baby boy named Jhaquan Kevin Mario Lewis was born. When I woke up at 6:00 am on that morning I knew today was the day. I felt all the heaviness of this world in my lower abdomen and a series of painful contractions that I had never felt during the last nine months. I was home alone so I prepared myself to go to the hospital. At…

An ice cream shop owner has a choice between spending $4,000 or throwing a small child an ice cream party for its sports team. A health inspector inspects the ice cream shop and finds a small violation resulting in a $4,000 fix however the health inspector gives the shop owner an alternative choice, to host the inspector’s daughter’s softball team an ice cream party after their big win.

“The Glass Castle” The Glass Castle was a memoir that takes you on a very detailed journey of the events that occurred in Janette Walls life. In her lifetime her family faced many challenges and went through, what some might call, abnormal circumstances. Over an extended period of time she was homeless, hungry, and often socially isolated from her surrounding environment. The conditions the Wall’s children had to endure throughout the book were harsh and unfair. Jeannette and her siblings were…

a mother, and a child. A parent acts as a guardian, showers children with tender care and guides them in their formative years in life. Parenthood is, of course, no joke because it involves devotion and a lifelong commitment to raise a child and be role models to children in every sense. There are some cases, when a damily does not have a father or a mother, more commonly called as single parenting. It is a more demanding task when the father or mother is a single-parent, acting out dual roles…

This can be in large part due to the fact parents are so protective of their child, because they want them to be safe. It also can be due to the feelings of being overwhelmed with such an overloaded schedule filled with meetings with teachers, support staff, special needs services, doctors, psychologists, and transition services. In many cases the life of a parent with special needs is much like running a marathon with little or no breaks. Making the parent understand he or she is not alone and…

When people think of their mothers some think of memories, traits, or even looks. When I think about my mom I think about her work ethic, her love for family, and her constant support. My mom is one of the hardest working people I know. She never gives up and would always tell my siblings and me to do the same. One memory I have of her is all the many times she would be up late sitting in the dim glow of her laptop working on her masters degree. It took her 2 long years and many late nights…

seriously/permanently injured. Mothers who raise children at a young age are also more likely to be harsher with their child when dealing with punishments, mostly because of staying up late at night to care for a screaming baby. This can lead to the parent being more apt to spank their child. Finances also play a huge role in physical problems babies go through while having an adolescent mother. Many times the father will leave the mother alone to raise the child. If the mother has no other…

pregnancy look fun/easy, glamorous and not life changing is nothing but deceiving. “Mom I’m pregnant!” are the worst words that should make any mother happy—when the time is right—to hear their daughter(s) say. These are the worst words that any parent wants to hear from the little girl, whom is between the ages of fourteen and eighteen. Seeing the shows on television; for example, “16 and Pregnant”, have made being a teen mother look fun and easy. These young girls want a—live—baby doll to…

One rainy day, as a young girl I woke up to go to school, I kindly asked my mother to walk me to school but my busy mother could not manage to do so. Regardless of my mother not walking me to school; I did not hesitate to go to school. I took all my belongings and took off, the friends that always waited for me had already left so I had to go alone. If only my mother just realized that giving me just little of her time, and walked me to school would not have impacted my life the way it did, she…

little brother instead of a little sister. Then, there was a change in the sleeping arrangements in the house for me. During this change in my life, I had to learn not only to share my toys or space; I had to learn how to share the love of both my parents. Finally, I learned to take care of Chanse as another human being, my little brother with the help of my…
