I find it cruel for these parents to want their children to have fake teeth (flippers), fake tans, fake nails, and fake hair with highlights. I see the competitions as a way for mothers to compete against one another but also to live their life through their children. Some of the parents look like they can barely make ends meet financially each month. At first I thought the parents were making sacrifices in order to get future college scholarships, but soon found this was not the case. The winners get a meager $500 to $1000.
Working With Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Trauma: The case of Brenna Marissa Bowman Walden University In the case of Brenna social and economic injustice was present in the areas of housing, education and healthcare. Brenna became a victim of sexual assault at the age of 15 by her mother’s boyfriend. When she disclosed to her mother about the sexual assault Brenna was asked to move out. There was an immediate lack of concern for Brenna’s well-being by her mother virtually kicking her out with no regard to how she would survive or continue going to school. Freud’s theory regarding the ego and psychosexual development states that: “perceiving welfare recipients as victims of psychologically abusive histories can result in character disorders
While many single mothers worry too much or regret decisions during their children childhood they are satisfied with the result and the out come of there children by the actions their children make after they grown out of their childhood In “I stand here ironing” a mother depicts her first child to have a bad early childhood by making the wrong decision not by choice but simply what got handed to them in a urban world. “She was a miracle to me but when she was eight months old I had to leave her daytimes with the woman downstairs to whom she was no miracle at all, for I worked or looked for work and for Emily’s father who “could no longer endure sharing want with us.”” Narrator did not want leave her child with the downstairs neighbor, but to provide the little she could to her child she made scarifies due to been a one parent family. She did all she could even with the father figure leaving to irrelevant discussion on his part. When she sees the development of her child thru the years she gets warmth never felt. “Now suddenly she was Somebody, and as imprisoned in her difference as she had in anonymity.” In the narrators point of view her child was an outcast, a nobody, but when she got the call from her daughter it seem the sun finally started to shine in her daughter path, she was free.
But one thing we knew is that we would be great parents to her, and give her the attention and love we both really never got from our family. We both knew she was going to be spoiled because of us and her grandparents. She wasn’t even born yet and she already had a personal wardrobe. As the months passes by it was just a waiting game for me and my boyfriend we were so anxious for her arrival into the world. Everyone else was just waiting anxiously for her presence also.
In my point of view Myrna made a good decision in this situation for two reasons, first it is a good punishment for Kenny as she dose’s want to be her mother any more. Also this leaving would be good for Myrna to find herself and get along with this condition. Although Kenny ashamed her mom, and although he wasted four years of best days of his life in jail, but he still is Myrna’s son even though she says “I just can’t be you mother right now”. Therefore, he must understand how he made his lovely mother angry and disappointed with his action. In my opinion this (Myrna’s leaving) would be a good punishment for Kenny to recognize how he lost her mother easily and how much his crime is serious for her.
