Changing Roles

For Walkingshaw family, the duty to take care of baby was not always for the mother. Neil Walkingshaw wanted to quit his job to take care of his newborn but refused by his boss. He sued for the company for sex discrimination and he won. The result says that roles of parental are changed. The old thought is broken.

The traditional view that women should stay at home and men should go to work outside was questioned. In the 1970s and ‘80s, numbers of working women proved that they could be main source of income, too. The connection of a father with his family was getting closer and closer. The will of fathers’ play a part in the delivery room and attend childbirth classes is stronger.

Social scientists found that effect upon children from the father is quite different from the mothers. Fathers educate children in emotion and physical is in different way from mothers. The research shows the father also can make his children development. The stay-at-home dads tend to be more humorous.

The biggest social problem in modern society is the absence of a father in home. Fathers present in family can decrease juvenile crime rates and teenage pregnancy. The influences on educating communicate emotions and ability to understand between fathers and mothers is unlike.

Organizations like the U.S.-based National Fatherhood Initiative take active device to encourage fathers to play an important role in family. They broken traditional images of fatherhood, fathers do not only be breadwinners but also be crucial nurturer, moral example and disciplinarian.

Family experts believe that just only healthy families can nature well-adjusted children. If the theory is true, the image of society will change. Roles of fathers will as important as mothers and they will take their paternal duties much more seriously.

My favorite song

The song: Bad Day
Composer: Daniel Powter
The reason for I like the song is its melody is so beautiful, the singer's voice is amazing and the most important one is its image totally touch my heart. Sometimes when I in trouble what I can not handle or something make me fell sad, I just listen to my favorite song “Bad Day” again and again. Every time when I hear Daniel’s voice, I always fell at ease. The words he makes are touchable.

Just like the words what Daniel makes, “You sing a sad song just to turn it around”. Everything will be ok. Every problem will get the answer to solve. After you undergo the texts in life, you will see what you actually want.

As long as you pass the challenge, you will get a stronger courage to pass the next challenge. It will not rain all day and it will be clean up one day. Life will not ever be in bad day, it will be succeed. Do not give up!
