Stay-at-home dad

I believe that stay at home moms are devalued in American society. When speaking to a woman I've seen many people shrug off the idea of being a stay at home mom. When I would tell kids in school that my mom stayed at home I remember them always responding "Oh". I would always get a bleak, boring response as if they were really trying to say "That's not anything important, moving on now". I think having a stay at home mom is what differentiated me from a lot of my peers in school. A large…

To be caring means, “The work or practice of looking after those unable to care for themselves.” Two of the main people who have really taught me what means and what it looks like to be caring would be my mom, my dad, and my grandpa. They have always been a great influence to me by always encouraging me to try to be caring towards anyone and everyone, especially those in need. Their determination to be caring daily is what inspires me to strive to be the kindest, most caring person I can be.…

Families in the United States evolve over time. It seems now traditional family values are changing more often, whereas in the past values were meaningful and everyone lived by them. In our society today, there have been an increase in diverse family, partial upbringing of children, economic changes within the family and reproductive technologies. Marriages in this generation usually end in divorce. Usually in recent decades those who get married end up divorce months or years later.…

My dad, uncle, aunt, and a couple of family friends did softball at Alpha Park once a week in the afternoon. My cousin, Jordan, would always be there. During the games, we would play “house” or “the invisible game” or we would simply walk around wanting to pet all the dogs. On some occasions, although rare, my cousin, Brandon, would take Jordan and I to the playground equipment. On this day, Jordan and I were probably playing one of our usual games. These games could include strollers,…

The day started when I woke up around 5:00 my dad asked me if I wanted to pheasant hunt and I was willing to go. That morning I was excited to go and it was youth season. I went out to my dog Max’s kennel and he was just as excited as I was. We went out and I got the gun loaded and we started out. In the car I my adrenaline was racing and it was my first time pheasant hunting. Although I was a bit nervous it was good. When we got out to the field my dad showed me how to load and unload a gun and…

eight years and had started to think that we were never going to move again until the summer of my seventh grade year when my dad gave us the news. Summer had started for the kids of Nashville and my family had decided to take a road trip up to Washington DC to look at colleges for my junior brother Charles. I wasn't all the excited about going, I just wanted to stay home…

Chris in both stories is that they come from rough backgrounds.You can make the inference in Lifeguard ”Dad came by the pool last week.” “The jerk, I thought. Serve him right if one of theses days I walk up to the viewing room, shove open the door and pop him one right in the mouth”; Chris's dad came to the pool, but he is not impressed seeing his dad, since he is only in the viewing room. His dad is not personally talking to him, only viewing him while he is swimming. Which says alot that…

The most unforgettable thing that happened to me in my life was when I went to Yellowstone National Park. One reason it was so unforgettable was because my dad and my Grandpa were with me. Another reason is because of the how different it was from home. The nature was so beautiful there and the animals were so cool. I like going with my dad because we love to see new things. We also like to explore new places and go on hikes. I like going with my Grandpa because he was an expert (if you ask me)…
