Paul (the son) gets into horse racing, he has a gift like no other. This gift was wonderful and made the Mother lots of money, but its price was the death of her son
Due to her domineering presence this meant that any chance that child A’s mother had of being able to fulfil her role as the primary carer was undermined and must have caused great stress and tension within the family unit. This is picked up on by the child who will often display negative behaviour just before a home visit in the hope that care staff will cancel it. This would remove the burden of saying she doesn’t want to go herself which she feels would be like rejecting her family. This finally leads me to the grandfather who would have been the only male to have been involved in child A’s development but he appears to have taken a very minor role and chose to stay in the background letting his domineering wife pull the family strings. This meant again that child A had no dominant male role model in her life and reinforced the grandmother’s matriarchal role.

I believe that when they first got married there was some kind of love in their relationship, but when they realized they could not conceive a child Don Elias blamed his wife. Even though it was most likely he was the infertile one, he treated her as if all she was good for was to take care of him like a maid. This is what made her a hard, bitter old woman. Dona Matilida believes it was her fault, and feels guilty about not being able to provide him with a child he so greatly desired. This caused her to turn a blind eye to what he was doing around town with other women.
The Awakening During the time in which “The Awakening” was written, the expectations of women and the limitations of law allowed them little or no independence. Women were expected to perform the social role of a doting wife and mother. As one of these women, Edna has little or no opportunity to express herself in the ways that she wanted to. It’s as though she is trapped in world where she doesn’t belong and can’t find any escape. She feels obligated to her husband and children.
Abigail's shrewd behavior is most likely from growing up an orphan and never acquiring a parent's unconditional love. According to the online article The Effects of Parents on a Child's Psychological Development a child who receives minimal love from a parent are more likely to develop into an adult with lower self-worth, feelings of inadequacy, limiting beliefs and insecurity which can result in suspicion and jealousy in relationships. Although Abigail was taken in by her Uncle he was far too interested in the way he was perceived by the community to care about Abigail at all "…now when some good respect is rising for me in the parish, you compromise my very character. I have given you a home, child, I have put clothes upon your back…" The absence of a parent figure in Abigail's life have made it oblige to look after herself when something has gone awry. In the midst of taking care of herself Abigail had an affair with John Proctor who gave her a sense of security and belonging which she wasn't able to receive from Reverend Parris.

Welfare Reforms The dream of most women is to have the traditional family, which includes a husband and their children. There are more single mothers in this day and age that face more challenges on the way to achieving the American Dream. They find it hard to provide financially even working a full-time job because the pay is normally minimum wage and most still rely on public assistance to make ends meet. Some single mothers lack education and work experience, which prevents them from obtaining a decent paying job. Budget cuts to welfare programs are making it that much harder for the single mother to provide the necessities for their children because these supplemental programs are necessary to the day to day workings of a family.
Parents play a major role to influence their children’s characteristics and beliefs since they are the primary educators. In other words, the example they set via the actions they take and the decisions they make greatly impacts the behavior of the offspring. This is clearly seen in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen as Lydia, the youngest daughter in the Bennet family, is depicted to be the product of her mother’s failing position as a parent. Her immature behavior with others in addition to her elopement with Wickham justifies Mrs. Bennet’s unsuccessfulness to educate her daughter socially. Thus, Lydia’s lack of propriety and good judgment is a reflection of Mrs. Bennet’s inability to sufficiently fulfill her role as an effective mother.
