Family relations

  Hello and welcome back to my blog. I want to talk about something today that some people may agree with by others might not and either way is fine. These are my opinions and I never expect everyone to believe what I do. I want to talk about the roles of mothers. I know some people believe that a mother should stay at home with the children and her main role is to be a homemaker. I know many young women who this is a goal for them. They want nothing more then to be a wife and a stay at home mother. However, I know a lot of young women who have the motivation to go to school and to have a career and still be a mother. I also know a lot of young women who don’t want children at all. I think each three of these are perfectly acceptable. I think every woman should have the opportunity to choose that for herself. I personally would love to be a wife and a mother and still have a career. This past summer I was home from collage due to COVID-19. My aunt and her husband are considered ess...

  Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. I wanted to talk about something I think is important in every relationship, communication. I would like to really focus on communication in romantic relationships. I think communication is key to any successful relationship. In a relationship, communication allows you to explain to someone else what you are experiencing and what your needs are. The act of communicating not only helps to meet your needs, but it also helps you to be more connected in your relationships. Communication allows you to express your emotions to you partner. I was in a situation where someone close to me expected me to do something I was not comfortable doing and I did not know he even wanted me to do this. I need to collect my thoughts and emotions about the subject, but I was honest with him and communicated what I was feeling with him. Because of this we were able to have an honest, open conversation about the topic and we came to a conclusion. Had I not spo...

  Hello, welcome back to my blog. Today I would like to talk about stress within families. Family stress is defined as a disturbance in the steady state of the family system. The disturbance can emerge from the outside or inside the family. Family stress can come from being under a lot of pressure, facing big changed, worrying about a problem, not having any or much control over the outcome of a situation, having responsibilities that you’re finding overwhelming, not having enough work, activities, or change in your like, financial hardships, death, divorce, and work. Many families are affected by multiple stressors at any given time. My personal family has been faced with many of these. My family has experienced the death of love one’s multiple times throughout my life. I have had all my great grandparents die in my lifetime, and many cousins. These stressors can cause a lot of chaos on a family unit. I remember when one of my cousins died when I was nine years old. This cousin wa...

  Hello everyone. Welcome back to my blog. I wanted to state that what I talk about is my opinion and I never expect someone to agree with me. I wanted to talk about something that didn’t sit right with me this week. I was in my class for family relations and my teacher was talking about couples having sex and the bonding that is causes, however he did not call it sex, he called it love making. He referred to it as love making every time. I personally think it is so important to call sex, sex and not give it a different name. As a child development major, I think about how it is so important that we teach children the correct terminology for their body parts. Also, as a member of the church of Jesus Christ of the latter-day saints I think it is important to call sex what it is. In my religion it is common for couples to not have sex until after marriage. Because of this sex is a taboo topic that no one wants to talk about. In my religion they do talk about the importance of sex and...
