In later adulthood, this role changes into other people making decisions for you and being the advocate of a person. When in later adulthood a person goes into becoming the “grandparent” to others children rather than being the “parent” to their own children, for example. One doesn’t hold much power or significance to their own life as they once did. Many people have negative views about growing older and many have their own opinions on it. “However, people in many other parts of the world think and feel positively about aging and assign a positive value and meaningful role to the aging members of their communities” (Williford, 1998, p.4).
Some carer’s are poorly trained and this can causes stress for the service user as they are not being respected or having their needs met. Changes of staff make it difficult also as there is no continuity of care and this can be frustrating. Service users want more of a say in the care plan and don't find it flexible enough. All of these things can cause difficulties when the carer arrives. Personal assistants offer a more personal and flexible approach.
While my Values and Beliefs are important to me I appreciate that not everyone values the same qualities. While it has not been an issue in my current position I could say that I may have less empathy or patience for people who are more work shy or don't share my values. As a professional it is important that I don't allow my beliefs and Values to place a strain on relationships with colleagues and families. Experiences My experience comes with age as well as looking after my own two children, my nieces and nephews. Coming from a large family of eleven siblings some younger and some older we all have to look after each other at one time or another, I’ve learnt to care for others, give guidance and protection when needed, empathise with others when in distress, agree and disagree to voice my opinion, to give advise when needed, to support and to be a good role model.
To him, wasting money on two residences for their family of four does not make much sense, especially when he wants his family there with him. It is likely that he also wants to be able to spend more time with his wife as he revealed his fear that their relationship may deteriorate if they continue with their current
Both parents strive to be the main decision maker and often argue about important decisions. Role Structure 1. Roles of family members: a. Both parents bring money into the family though the father’s wages are not guaranteed. The mother works two jobs to bring enough into the family in the case that the father does not make commission.
Most families today struggle to live up to the expectation of having the “ideal” family. Many Americans today feel that family and marriage in general are in a state of decline. Kids are increasingly becoming less likely to become apart of couples. But what does family actually stand for? I believe that family does not necessarily mean that you have to be
“As a result of this attitude, wives seldom worked at outside jobs,” Benner stated (Benner pg.1). Some women tried to have a job out of rebelliousness or some just desperately needed a job because their husband could not maintain a well enough paying job. Women weren’t sought out to be the type person who would get a job and provide for the family. The man of the house was supposed to do that. That was the norm, the norm was that the man of the house was the one who was to protect his family, provide for his family, and be there for his family.
Financially I think Jennifer and her husband are doing great. I believe if Jennifer would maybe cut her hours at work that she could start a family together. I also feel this would help Jennifer and her stress level. This is a huge decision that Jennifer and her husband would have to make together, but I don’t believe with Jennifer’s schedule that they would be able to throw a baby in the middle of Jennifer’s life. If Jennifer’s husband would want to cut his hours that would be great, but something has to give at this point.
Family should be the most important factor in every person’s life. Within a family, mothers and fathers sometimes disagree with one another. Grandmothers and grandfathers disagree with each other as well. Sometimes uncles, cousins, and nieces never respond to each other. Sometimes, it is not easy to discuss anything without starting an argument.
One of the reasons women are leaving their careers is because of the inflexible scheduling for the working women who are also mothers, making it impossible for some to manage both. The questions I have regarding this is that if the workforce was in some way more flexible for the working mothers, would they still be considered equal among the men? Would men see weakness among a woman if she has to be given a little more slack at work because she has children at home? Or could men see it as unequal and unfair that they do not have the option to minimize their work load for the same title and pay as his female co-worker? The thing is, working women risk losing respect from men if they can’t “do it all”, all the time, without complaining.
