TMA01 The word ‘carer’ means someone who looks after a friend, relative or neighbour who needs support because of their sickness, age or disability. Carers come from all backgrounds and can be any age. Caring can be rewarding, but it can be difficult too (Directgov 2006) I will be looking into family care, and the difficulties and rewards it brings looking after a family member. I have been reading about a case study in unit 1 about Ann and her family who I will be using throughout as a reference. Ann looks after her father Angus who is 79 and has Parkinson’s disease, Ann lives with her father along with her husband Bob and daughter Zoe.
Everyday a new life is born everyday you wake up you’re a lucky person because not everyday everyone wakes up. Happiness should come with just simply waking up to see the light of the next day and to get to see your family and friends. My Life has always been like that I am blessed to be healthy and to wake up every morning to see the light of the day. Family is a very important aspect in Randy Pauschs life. He has 3 kids and his wife he has to think about everyday he explains “ theres a sadness that comes when I think about my kids and it’s not so much that I won’t get to experice being a dad I mean that’s sad but real strong emotions for me are they won’t have me for them that’s where it’s okay to say that’s not fair.” This simply shows the emotion he has towards his family and how strongly he is enjoying every second with them.
A lot of families live far apart and only see each other on special occasions. In contrast is the collectivistic culture which has a holistic view where being a team player is encouraged. Collectivism emphasizes groups such as family, nation, and community and believes that the needs of the many outweigh that of an individual. In this type of culture people are taught to offer support to others and to also accept help without shame. This type of society shows in the way that they live also.
These values include but are not limited to selfless acts, forgiveness, compassion and environmental responsibility, that in today's society can be a rarity. Creating a Caring Community can be done in many forms, from Foster homes to volunteering with the gifted. Cedar Valley Services, group home and workforce is only one example of how respecting each person's dignity can be displayed by helping those with special needs be able to contribute and feel needed. Fostering loving relationships is not only teaching your children to love an respect one another and all human beings, not matter who they are or where they come from but also goes from home to the workplace and classroom by spreading hospitality, friendship and kindness in everyday life. Showing compassion and caring for others are key components in mission statements of daycares and nursing homes, assisted living facilities and schools.
In the 2nd of May 1999 a small family gave birth to their first child, Maggie Johnson. Her mother Sheeree Amelia Avery Johnson and her father Brian Avery Burke was just newlywed. But there was something that Brian had kept hidden away from his wife. Secretly he was living this so called “double life”. From the outside Brian appeared as a caring and loving father and husband.
My family is not quite like either of the families in the film, but it is does have more similarities to Tre’s family. The family structure within my home consists of; my parents who are still married and living together, my sister, and myself, I also have a brother who is married and lives on his own. My parents agree on most things when it comes to the raising of their children. My mother is stronger on the school and academics aspect while my father is more easygoing, but regardless, both parents want what is best for their
Living on a single income, with the husband supporting the family on his own sounds wonderful to a lot of women today, when husbands demand their wives work outside of the home. The "Women's Libbers" expect to be thanked, and do not understand why many women resent what they did. Society has changed so much that women may make quite a bit more money than men, and some husbands don't want to work at all. They are happy to be supported by their wives or girlfriends while they stay home and do anything they want to do. Unfortunately, what they want to do apparently does not include childcare or
It is all too often a familiar feeling when I think of my family responsibility and how I must often make decisions and carry the burden for my family. I quickly learned that others within the group had similar feelings of family obligation and responsibility which seemed to play a role in the tension they felt at the onset of the group. When Dr. Skjoldal asked the question, “What will happen if you don’t get something right or get a thing done?”, It was a moment of enlightenment, and it gave me insight. I have never been asked that question. Thinking about a possible answer reveals that I am not only living with fear but possibly an over-compensation of family obligation.
FMLA helped my wife out during a very difficult time in our family and because of it she was able to focus on the situation at hand and not worry about if she will still have her position when she returned. Many employees have benefited from FMLA because it gave them a sense of peace to allow them to focus on the needs of your family. Taking a Leave of Absence from a because of having a baby, adoption of a new baby, from caring for a terminally ill parent or family member, is covered in FMLA and that alone is a good
I don’t want to have kids when I am too old, I want to be able to watch them get married and have kids. I see my mother when she is with my niece and becoming a grandparent was one of the most joyful days of her life, I would love to experience that. I have had ups and downs through-out my life, but going through those obstacles has made me the sturdy person I am today. Going through my parent’s divorce, being in a long distance relationship and living in a rotary schedule between both parents has left me with emotional stiffness that I would by no means take
