For example, nurseries and playgroups have an increasingly important role in the socialisation of young children whose parents are working full-time. Also, family life is much less stable than it was in the past and this undermines the traditional functions of the family. ________________________________________________________________________ From a functionalist opinion, they believe that the society we live in is based on an unwritten set of shared norms and values – a consensus. This is the consensus theory. This is primary socialisation which is taught mainly by families which teaches the young generation the norms and values.
Hope talked about the resentment that accumulated in the relationship over time. She also discusses the effect and changes in her life when they had children and the way there marriage was effected by this. She also explains how the relationship worked out and how they both overcame obstacles that were in their way and how co-parenting worked from her point of view. The issues she discussed about co-parenting and her marriage were about lack of time spent together, each having “equal division of labor” and entering a marriage with a false belief of it being perfect. She also brings up throughout the writing how she and her friends discussed entering a relationship or marriage with belief of co-parenting was attainable.
Both parents strive to be the main decision maker and often argue about important decisions. Role Structure 1. Roles of family members: a.

However, one factor that should be taken into consideration is the millions of dollars in government assistance that parents not receiving child support are forced to rely on. Fear is a very strong motivator, and, knowing they will have consequences to face, could make non-custodial parents much more likely to take care of their responsibilities. In many cases, receiving child support would give these struggling parents the economic boost they need to get on their feet and of public assistance. Child support usually increases a family’s income 17% - 30% which could greatly improve their standard of living. I truly feel this is worth

Tita’s relationship with her biological mother is unstable, making her believe that Nacha is her true mother because she is the only one who cares and understands her. The relationship between a mother and child
As the mother of two daughters I always want for my daughters what I feel was lacking in my life. It makes sense to me that Nanny’s idea of success and freedom is being wealthy and idle. That was what was literally beaten into Nanny. I think in real life, as with Nanny, mothers can get so blinded by their own agenda and their attempt to fulfill their own dreams through their daughter that they don’t stop to ask what their child wants. While I understand that this may not be the ideal way to handle a situation, I believe that Nanny did the best she could considering her experiences.
Nicole Williams, A student, “I had to take my daughter out of the center because my husband and I could not afford all three children”. As we have learned it is important for daycare to have cleanliness, activities, flexible hours, reasonable prices, and a convenient location. The quality of a daycare is important because parents are entrusting their children to the care of someone else. As children develop, they will need to learn how to entertain themselves and also how to interact with others in various settings and
Knowledge is not always power because the more you know does not necessarily mean you understand what you have learned. In the short story “Everyday Use”, education seemed to make a rift in the relationship not only between the mother and the daughter, but also between the sisters. Dee was one to always try and outsmart her family members always seeking answers knowing no one knew. It was mama who eventually got the community together to help send Dee to school so her daughter would be happy and satisfied. The values of heritage seem to have been lost with the gain of knowledge when Dee has gone to college.
I feel Jennifer and her family do not have good communication. I understand that Jennifer is grown and she is trying to do it all, but she really needs to express her feelings to her family. I also believe her family should start asking her if she needs help, or ask her how she feels. I find it very sad that Jennifer’s husband does not at least try to help with the housework, or pay for a maid. Financially I think Jennifer and her husband are doing great.
The Women's Rights movement, also known as "Women's Libbers," told women not to waste their time taking care of their homes and families, and they were too smart for that. They proclaimed that women had a "choice" not to be housewives now thanks to them. They said women could be anything they wanted to be, and they would find fulfillment in jobs outside of the home. Many women seemed to want to have jobs outside of the home, leaving their children, even very young babies, in day care centers. Older children were also in day care or on their own.
