the city. But she can't because she has to stay at home and look after her family because her mum has died and her dad is always drunk, so if she

Examples from the novel is when Murray goes to war. Bravery is shown in this because you would have to be quite brave to go to war and fight
for your own country, knowing that you might get shot. Another example is when Murray stays with Sid at war. Murray stays with Sid at war
while he is injured after Will shot him. They started talking about the cricket match. Another example is when Will shot paddy. Their dad was
going to kill paddy but he handed the rifle to Murray and he was meant to kill paddy, but he was being a coward so he handed the rifle to his
brother so Will had to be brave and shoot the don. Their dad quoted just before they shot paddy thats there was "No place on a farm for a fool of a
dog" (page 38). These examples and more demonstrate to us that in the novel bravery was another big theme that Tony Palmer explored.
In conclusion Tony Palmer demonstrated that family, death and bravery are key themes in the novel "Break of Day". This novel demonstrates
bravery when Murray goes to war, when Murray stays with Sid at war and when Will kills paddy. The novel shows family when Ada stays home

Legalizing Lgbt Families : How The Law Shapes Parenthood
Legalizing LGBT Families: How The Law Shapes Parenthood is a book that portrays what it's like to be an LGBT parent in the United States of
America. This book showcases the livelihood of what some LGBT citizens face when wanting to start a family. This book does an excellent job of
presenting LGBT parents and what they go through to fight for equal rights when it comes to raising a family. This book includes over 100 in–depth
interviews with LGBT citizens that demonstrate how the law plays a significant role in decision–making about how the family will be organized and
parenting decisions. Most of the research that was done for this book was done to portray gay family life and family diversity, or to contest or approve
the stereotype.
The authors of this book are Amanda K. Baumle and D'Lane R. Compton. Amanda K. Baumle is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the
University of Houston. She has written additional books that showcase the lives of LGBT citizens. D'Lane R. Compton is also an Associate Professor
of Sociology at the University of New Orleans. Baumle and Compton are also co–authors of Same–Sex Partners: The Demography of Sexual
Orientation. Families of the past have historically relied on the establishments of blood or law. Families are often stereotypically comprised of a
childbearing mother and hard–working father. This book does an exceptional job of breaking that stereotype and showing that families can include
LGBT citizens.

Personal Narrative Analysis
As I sit here now as a senior and look back at my past, I realized I would not change it. I grew up being a military daughter and since I did, there
were many tears that ran down my face. During my elementary through 9th grade years, I would say I grew up without having my dad, due to the
fact that he was stationed somewhere and my mom just wanted to stay in Oklahoma to keep her job. I remember all the good times I had with my
dad when he was home such as going fishing, playing soccer, or just spending time with my him. I was a daddy's girl, I always loved to spend time
with him while he was home. I usually got to see my dad on Christmas and that was the only holiday I spent with him. Then halfway through my first

Double Duty for Working Parents
Working parents have to deal with some problems when it comes to working and parenting. They have to both do their jobs in the workforce and care
for their children at home in order to maintain their families. In other words, they cannot fully commit themselves to just working or parenting. Also,
working parents have to find family time to spend with their children in order to strengthen family relationships.
Traditionally, the mother stays home with her children while the father takes on the workforce and generates the family income. However, with
inflation and the rising cost of living, the mother has to join the workforce so that both parents can generate sufficient income for the family. As of
2006, three of four mothers with children under 18 years old are in the workforce. Instead of being stay–home mothers, they become working mothers
that work as employees away from home and as parents at home.
A growing number of working mothers sacrifice their opportunities in the workforce for their children's benefit. At the start of the 20th century, 50% of
married mothers with newborn children drop out of the workforce to support their children. Kimberly Palmer categorizes these women under "the
opt–out generation" because they favor "hearth and home over the office." Initially, Palmer saw her mother as "a total career woman and also a total
mom– and that she had managed to do... everything." She did not realize that her mother had to ride a seesaw that tried to balance the

The Perfect Family Became A Broken Home
"She is not in there. She is gone, and she said she was not coming back," whimpered my dad. At that moment, that is all we ever knew. It was all
anyone ever knew. The perfect family became a broken home in 2009, but not just any broken home. It became a home searching for a renewing,
searching for a reconnection. With whom? Well, we did not quite know that answer at that point of our beautiful tragedy either. From the alcoholic
father, to the sleepless mother, I grew up in a family that seemed perfect enough for me. My dad, my mom, my sister Charli, and I spent most
weekends with my dad 's family, our friends, and my dad 's best friend Darrell. Other than the times my dad would lash out in anger while he was
drunk, life was happy–go–lucky. Every day, every year was a routine. My dad would get off work; we would get out of school. Around five o 'clock
my mom would be home, and we all would go do our usual get together, which most the time consisted of watching the men of the group drink, our
mom 's bringing us home early, and then the men coming in late hours of the night. Over the next few years the situation got worse. My dad hardly
came home without being drunk, and my mom spent hours on top of hours waiting up on him. Eventually, she got tired of it, I guess. In the summer of

blessings that got you there. In the story, "Fly Away Home," by Eve Bunting, Andrew is a boy that lives his life jumping from airport to airport to

is by being grateful for his dad. Also, he is doing this with no home and not many belongings. In the story Andrew learns to be grateful in all times
even when he doesn't have many belongings with him. One way he does this is by cherishing the food he has. He cherishes the doughnuts and milk
he eats for breakfast and sometimes he even gets orange juice. He should be grateful for this because he doesn't get alot of food and some is better
than none. Also, he has just blue shirts, pants, and jackets as his wardrobe. This shows how he can use what he has for what he needs and doesn't

Gender Roles And Family Conflict
Gender roles vary from family to family, and for my family, they are a combination of many different types. For my childhood, I was raised
nontraditional in the sense of masculinity and femininity. I had Barbies©, Tonka Trucks©, kitchen sets, and legos. I was never told that Barbies©
were only for girls and that Tonka Truck© were only for guys. From traditional to nontraditional roles, I have been raised to be my own and unique
individual. When I was younger, I was raised in a very nontraditional, gender role home. My father and mother worked and my siblings and I, were sent
to daycare. After a few year of my mother and father working, my mom decided to stop working to be a stay at home mom. A lot of this was due to

She would not ask my dad for help as she knew he would not be to please to have to stop his resting, unless dinner was done. If was not common for
my dad to discipline us, unless my mother was busy handling another child. The most work my father would do, would be fixing the small things
around the house or working with the things that he really enjoyed. As it is said, "what one gives to a relationship is experienced as a cost, and
what one receives is experienced as a reward" (Balswick, 91). For my dad, his cost was working the hours that he did, and his reward was coming
home and sitting in his chair, not having to take on the responsibilities house work and child care. My mother was huge in helping us, kids, with
our homework and our needs. One thing different about my mom was that she was typically the one who enforced the discipline. She was adamant
in make sure we knew what was tolerated and what was not. With the changes in gender roles, "the stakes are high, as the outcome of these
decisions [affect] everything from the stability of marriage to the equality between men and women" (Cohen, 412). My parents are now divorced and
part of that, I feel, is due to the fact that my parents had to different mindsets as to the gender roles in our family. My dad felt women should stay at
home, cook clean, raise children and obey their husbands. Men were to work and provide the money that would put the food on the table.

Mother Culture Is Good For Young Girls
1.Throughout our readings we have seen gender performed in many ways from Toddlers in Tiaras to the discussion of Feminist Masculinity and the
questions of motherhood and its prices. In Cinderella Ate my Daughter, Peggy Orenstein lays out the many way we have taught our girl to be
princesses and argues whether or not the princess culture is good for young girls. Orenstein talks about how toy companies are gendering not only their
toys, but also their advertisements making everything glitter pink or baby blue. She even talks about how babies weren't colored coded until the early
twentieth century. Orenstein lays it all starting from the beginning with girls and the color pink and taking it to the end with female bodies and
objectification.
The Double Standard article puts all our beliefs in check and makes us realize that women can and do have sexual desires despite Orensteins
remarks about how women should "look sexy, but not feel sexual." Orenstein admire the little girls on Toddler in Tiara, but wonders whether or not
teaching these kids so early in age to be a sexual being (i.e.to be a women), will affect their self–image and well being later on. Then there are the
earlier articles stating that a mother should be a mother and have no other desire to work or have fun, and the Bell Hooks book that says women
should have the choice to be a SAHM or the bread winer. Finally, We get to the Stay at Home Dads article that opens everyone eyes and shows us that

Character Analysis Of Andrew In Fly Away Home By Eve Bunting
Hopefull. That describes Andrew in Fly Away Home by Eve Bunting. Andrew lives in a airport. He want the live a normal life but he can't because
he's stuck in an airport without a home. Though in a tough situation he still manages to keep a positive attitude, and he also is helpful. He is so young
yet he is still hopeful.
How would you react living in an airport since you were young, well Andrew manages to keep a positive attitude. In the story Andrew said "My dad
and I live in the airport, that's because we don't have a home and the airport is better than the streets." This shows his attitude while living in the airport
it's tough but he does not want to show his dad that he truly wants to live in a house. Andrew tries to stay positive through the situation he's going
through. But he is a lot more positive than most people would be in his predicament. Another example on how Andrew is positive is when he saw
the bird get stuck in the airport, "Don't stop trying!" he told it silently. "Don't! You can get out." This part is significant to the story by showing
how he is encouraging the bird to continue trying, that the bird can get out. But this makes me wonder if maybe he was just talking to himself
because he has no one to help him stay positive. His dad surely does not encourage him his dad likes it at the airport his dad does not understand
what Andrew really wants, yet Andrew still fights and he still has hope. The last example on how Andrew is positive is when he said "Then I
remember the bird, It took awhile but a door opened and when the bird left, when it flew free, I knew it was singing." It is important to notice that
before he said this he almost lost hope, he got mad at the people around him because they had more than him. But he then tried to focus on something
positive this shows that he truly wants to have hope and be positive.
Many people face challenges all the time. But the character Andrew in fly away home lives in an airport and helps his dad to get out. One example is
he can't get noticed by other people, they stay among the crowds change airlines and sleep sitting up. Even though Andrew is just a kid he doesn't

According to psychologists, the moment the baby's gender is discovered, the stereotypes begin. If it's a girl, her nursery is immediately decorated pink

however, John Frieda is the most famous cosmetologist. Men are also not supposed to do housework or be responsible for their kids, yet in 2009 an

This may be a difficult for women to accept given the fact that mommy has always been number one in the eyes of the world. However, mothers
will tend to make up for time spent away from child when she gets home. Another disadvantages for women is having to take on the role has the
primary breadwinner for the family. This not only reduce a woman's ability to cut back on work schedule, but also prohibit her from changing
careers if it simply does not suit her. There are disadvantages as it relates to men as well. "for one, they will have to endure the unconscious
hypocrisy of a society which often wrings its hands over the lot of the housewife yet at the same time views SAHDs as freeloaders who have left
their working wives holding the bag" Sacks (pg278). This quote is simply explains one of the biggest disadvantage men face as being a stay–at–home
dad as they are constantly ridicule for their choices. They are constantly being criticized by society and their manhood is constantly being questioned
for having their wives work and provide for the family while they stay home and take care of the children. This may sound unmanly to most
stereotyped men. Another disappointing factor as it relates to being a stay–at–home parent is the feeling of boredom and isolation. Moms and dads

The Effects Of Parental Gender Roles On Children With Stay...
Bridging the gap between previous studies, the current research explores the influence of parental gender roles on children with stay at home dads.
Acknowledging that this area of interest provided inconsistent results, predictions are that experiences will vary. However, it is thought that children's
views of domestic and unpaid labour division will be more equal. Results of the study validated previous findings, with a supposed explanation that
implicit and explicit ideas have more impact than accounted for. However, it is shown that parents of stay at home dads did have an egalitarian take on
gender roles in home and work.
The two biggest components of a child's cognitive development are the individual and their environment. So it is little surprise that by the ages of 5
and 7 children already internalise and express knowledge of gender roles displayed in society by way of unpaid (ie. household) and paid labour
division. Previous research has supplied evidence of this claim (Durkin & Nugent 1998, Martin & Ruble, 1998), however it is found that after the age
of 7, children's thoughts surrounding gender roles become more fluid in interpretation. Furthermore, it is discovered that there is a positive association
between parental gender ideas and their children's attitudes towards gender roles (Epstein & Ward, 2011, Fulcher, 2010). Fulcher (2010) found that
when mothers held more traditional (women more likely to have an 'at home' role) idea of their gender stereotype,

Should Men Stay At Home Dad Research Paper
Is it okay for a man to be a stay at home dad and the woman to be the breadwinner? When it comes to this question whether a woman should let their
men become a stay at home dad, people have different opinions about this topic. In modern society, men are viewed as the breadwinner, but then again
it has always been that way. This tradition goes further back even in ancient times, male and females recognized theirgender roles. The men would
always leave to hunt for food and water, while the women would stay to care for the children but, as you know things change over time. We live in a
time where females are no longer obligated to be a stay at home mom. Women have fought their way through this stereotype that women cannot do the
same things as men. Therefore, why can't men be accepted to be stay at home dads? "SAHDs also have to contend with the societal perception that
being a househusband is unmanly" (Sacks, 257). Many would see men as "unmanly" for being a stay at ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Fathers struggle to find acceptance within the role of a stay at home dad because men have always been viewed as the breadwinner. It makes men feel
worthless for not being the one providing for their family financially. In my opinion, there really is no difference with being a stay at home mom or
a stay at home dad. Even for stay at home moms, people will view the women as a freeloader, and lazy just as with stay at home dads because they
choose to be at home to care for their children. Whether it is the mother or the father that decides to be the primary caregiver or the breadwinner both
will still benefit from it. Parents will still be able to save money, and care for their children by being a stay at home parent. In addition, this teaches
children that there are really no gender roles. Men can do whatever women are capable of doing just as women are able to do what men are capable of

While gathering information to answer this piece, I read a piece titled "I Want a Wife". "I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs. I want
a wife who will keep my house clean. A wife who will pick up after my children, a wife who will pick up after Me." by Judy Brady. The wife is a large
component to a functioning household, life, family and career for the man. It is true that all of these desires are something a male can do as well, but
doesn't due to the female gender role expectation. The irony of the piece is that it was written by a female, whom was seeking a wife. As in, who
wouldn't want a wife? From the widely known and stereotypical 'setup' where the wife cooks as the husband goes to work, the known definition of ...

Some think that it's a transitional period where he's either unemployed, or looking for a job. Some think that the dad lacks motivation. Some assume
the female takes dominance in the relationship. Others, pass judgement about the father 'babysitting' that day. Whether it will be a modern day family
where the father works as the mother stays at home, or both of them will work, or the one where the father stays home. Whatever the individual family
chooses works best for them, the fact remains that it is a choice and that both the husband and the wife are accepting the roles they have chosen for
themselves, regardless of their gender This generation, as it is more open minded and unrestricted in terms of gender roles allows this trend to be
acceptable and practical.
In contrast to my parent's generation and what I witness growing up, is striking to look back on. My mother's role was an obviously stereotypical
role. She made sure my dad's dry cleaning was done, coffee was made, and he had what he needed to get to work. During the day she cleaned, did
laundry, household errands and finances. She started cooking by 4:30 pm to ensure dinner was ready, and the table was set when my dad walked
in at 5:30 pm. After dinner she cleaned the table and dishes as my dad relaxed in front of the television. She got myself and brothers ready for bed and

First Day In School Essay
"Sammie Jo, get up. We have to go drop dad off," I hear mom say from my door. I roll out of bed with my doll, my brother is already in the living
room. Dad has a big duffle bag sitting by the couch. He says good–bye to the dogs and then we all walk out to the car. My brother and I do not say
word the whole car ride. Mommy was crying and holding dad's hand on the way to Cherry Point. It took us about twenty minutes to get on base and
to my dad's work building. There was a lot of buff men in their cammies, some of them are already on the bus. "What is going on?" I think to myself.
Dad gives mom a hug and kiss before he gave me and my brother a hug. I don't understand what is going on but I don't let go off my daddy for what
felt like forever. "Time to let go kiddo," Dad says before making me pull away. He gives us one last look before walking into the big group of Marines.
I keep my eyes on him as long as possible before he gets on the bus and drives away. The next day is the first day of second grade. I cannot wait to see
my old classmates and meet my new teacher. When we get done eating breakfast, we give mom a hug good–bye then head to the bus stop. It does not

Analysis Of Vicks Nyquil's Advertisements
Advertisements come in many different forms and varieties, but they all have one thing in common. The thing they have in common is that they are
trying to persuade you to do something. All advertisements also have a certain motive that they are trying to achieve. The same can be said for
Vicks NyQuil's advertisement, "Dads Don't Take Sick Days". The strategies used in the advertisement are, using certain words or phrases to show off
their message, calling on your emotions, and bringing forth an idea that is not the stereotypical way things have been done in the past. Vicks NyQuil

This is what Vicks NyQuil has done. Since the beginning of time it has always been thought to be the women's job to take care of the children, and
the man's job to go out and work to provide for the women and children. This advertisement brings a new thought into play. They switch the typical
roles of the man and woman. In this advertisement the man is a stay at home dad, it is his job to take care of the children. The number of men
becoming stay at home dads has grown substantially since the 1980's. According to Pew Research Center, the number went from 1.1 million in
1989, to 2 million in 2012 (Livingston). It has almost doubled in size, and number of stay at home dads seems to be inexorable. Many people believe
this should not be happening because it is the woman's job to take care of the children and the man's job to work. Vick's NyQuil uses this to their
advantage. When you throw this topic into your advertisements it creates an impetus, and that helps this advertisement grow and becomes the best
advertisement that a company can use. The whole point of an advertisement is to get people to talk about it and go and buy their product. This is

Pursuing A Career Or Job
Being able to pursue a career or job that you find passion in is a beautiful thing. We as individuals in modern society have the ability to choose
whatever we want to be in life. As a society, we are okay with individuals going for careers as long as they "fall in line" with their gender. Usually,
men go for jobs where they are able to show their masculinity, strength, or love for automobiles. For example, if a man pursues a job in the automobile,
constructions, or sports then everything is okay with the world. If a woman pursues a job that mostly women go for such as a nanny, teacher, or
hairstylist then that is okay because we want our women to have feminine or nurturing jobs. When a man or a women choose to go for a job that does
not pertain to their gender things can get pretty ugly. Gender Discrimination means "discrimination based on a person 's gender or sex, which more
often affects girls and women. Because of gender discrimination, girls and women do not have the same opportunities as boys and men for education,
meaningful careers, & political influence" (dictionary.com). Even though women may experience gender discrimination more than men, men also fall
victim to this sort of discrimination. Discrimination is the biggest problems people experience in the workplace or when they are trying to get a job
that does not fit for their gender. There are several ways receiving gender discrimination that happen frequently in the day to day lives like giving a

INTRODUCTION
I would say that I grew up in the "American Dream". I was raised in a home with both parents, we had everything we needed, I played sports and
dreamed big about the future. I did all the things that you are supposed to do growing up as an American. It wasn't until I joined the Army that I
realized there were so many other cultures and diversity that exist outside our own small existence. I was suddenly thrust into a world where
everyone was different from me and the people I had grown up around and with. It was exciting to meet these people and gain new perspectives on

Well, my parents went to work every day to provide for my brother and I and we had everything we ever needed. We lived in a nice house, had a
dog, and I never went without. I was able to dream about the future and the possibilities that were out there for me to seize. With that being said the
first topic I would like to discuss with you is the issue of childrearing. If you look at the US over the last 50–100 years within the scope of childrearing
you will find a common theme. The "normal" house consists of a father who leaves every day to go to work and provide for the family and a mother
who stays home to take care of the children and the house. This has been a standard of living in the US for a very long time. A recent article published
by the Pew Research Center states: "While most stay–at–home parents are mothers, fathers represent a growing share of all at–home parents – 16% in
2012, up from 10% in 1989. Roughly a quarter of these stay–at–home fathers (23%) report that they are home mainly because they cannot find a job.
Nearly as many (21%) say the main reason they are home is to care for their home or family. This represents a fourfold increase from 1989, when only
5% of stay–at–home fathers said they were home primarily to care for family" (Livingston 2014). This is interesting in many ways. Less than thirty
years ago the number of stay at home dads was drastically lower. One might say that the only reason that these dads are staying home is because they
cannot find work outside the home. The statistics disprove this theory. While it is true that some have suffered from a shaky economy, many are home
because they choose to be. 23 percent say that they are home due to the fact that they cannot find work. 21 percent are home by their own choosing.
This is hard to understand for most people. Globally it is accepted that the place of the man should be

Some Stereotypical Jobs for Woman
A woman's only job is to stay at home, take care of her family, and pleasure her man. What is a man's job? "Men, they do everything," quoted a fellow
male classmate, "Men get the real money." But it is the twenty–first century! Women are no longer expected to stay at home; they have taken roles as
teachers, doctors, C.E.O.s, part of the military, and the list goes on. As for men, it is now acceptable for them to stay at home, take care of their
families or even become nannies and nurses. Will Meek, creator of website "Psychology of Men", defined gender role as a set of attitudes, behaviors,
and self–presentation methods ascribed to members of a certain biological sex. Gender roles have changed throughout the course of American history;

was happy or not. Awoman's purpose in life was to obey her family and her husband's family and make them pleased. A man's purpose in life was
also to please his family by becoming someone important and bringing his family satisfaction and honor. They were told what to become and didn't
exactly have a choice; they had to obey by what their families wanted. In some cases, this still stands today, but some families aren't as harsh and are a

family as whole, whereas the females represented their husbands and their kids. Neither men nor women continued to be what society wanted them to
be. The shift in women's roles was a turning point in American culture in the late nineteenth century. They started fighting for their equality and proving
that they are worth more than a man's property. Women began their fight in 1848 with the fight for women suffrage. Four

If Brady had a "wife" she would take on the roles of the traditional father. She would go back to school, provide for the family if need be. She would
not have to worry about the children's needs so Brady could focus on herself and her well being. Sacks essay contrasts Brady's essay by explaining
the benefits of having the father stay at home to take care of the classic mother duties. "... men interfere with their wives' career aspirations by their
refusal to become their children's primary caregivers forcing women to sidetrack their careers if they want children" (Sacks 265). Children who
are raised with a stay at home dad are equally influenced by both parents. Although the father is taking on the traditional roles of the mother, no
one can replace the care children receive from their mom. The mom is still the mom and the dad is still the dad. The children will do dad things
with their dad and will still do mom things with their mom, even if the mom is not at home with the children all day. Men and women alike are
capable of caring for their children with the same level of tenderness. A Majority of people believe stay at home fathers are lackadaisical, unable to

How Working Moms And Dads
Growing up, I always dreamt of being a wonderful mother and wife. I want to be a woman that works hard and also takes cares of her

while 39% say this task is shared equally and 6% say the father does more. And 47% say the mother takes on more when their children fall ill, equal
to the share saying they split this duty equally; just 6% say the father does more of this. Although i disagree i believe splitting everything down the
middle, that puts the stress on both parents instead of one. i disagree with her theory because fathers don 't like doing womanly things. I don 't see a
father coming home cooking dinner after a long 12 hour shift at work. Nor can mom if she worked the same hours. If both parents work who has
time to do anything when they do get home. Their too tired to interact with their family which will take a toll on the children. If both parents are
taking on the roles how do they determine who 's spending more time with the children? How do they decide who picks up one week to the next ?
About four–in–ten full–time working mothers say they spend too little time with their kids. By comparison, 18% of part–time working mothers and

The Role Of Women In Barbie Doll, By Marge Piercy
People are oftentimes cast into roles or duties that some might believe are duties for certain groups of people. For example, some people feel nursing
is a career for women; and when they encounter a male nurse, they might not be as receptive to him. In other words, they just don't feel comfortable
with their skills. Also, society has placed women in the role of stay–at–home moms and housekeepers. Men who take on the duties of stay–at–home
dads are sometimes frowned upon by society and assumptions are made that the dad is not performing "manly" duties. However, there is no one
mold fit all society. People, especially women, should not be stereotyped in roles or duties that society deemed "women only". The poems "Barbie
Doll", "Girl", and "Daystar" reveals the pain, shame, and loneliness that some women might experience because of society's beliefs.
Marge Piercy's poem "Barbie Doll" reveals society's perception and expectations of girls as soon as they are born. She is to grow–up and adhere to
normal girl behavior. Behavior that does not deviate from restrictive roles and ideals. Piercy starts the poem off with gender recognition so that the
reader can understand the "girlchild" role in life as a woman. "In other words, she will fit into society's mold; and the use of the word "presented"
rather than given lets the reader know the importance of the items" (2). After all, they are her training tools. "This girlchild was born as usual and
presented dolls that did pee–pee and miniature GE stoves and irons and wee lipsticks the color of cherry candy" (1–4). Dolls that pee–pee are to train
her for motherhood. A stove is to train her for preparing meals; and an iron is for making sure her family is always polished. The lipstick is to
remind her that society expects her to be beautiful as well. Puberty is not a magical time. Piercy use of the word "magic" and puberty together
draws attention from society's perceived "Barbie Doll" to reality (5). Puberty is a time that can create havoc, as the "girlchild" found out. "The author
says that one of the milestones of the girl's life happens in the "magic of puberty" (5). "Puberty is a time of awkward transitions and not a time of

The Importance Of Family Roles
Family roles, especially in traditional families, are an undying debate. Starting from childhood, through various toys boys are taught to focus on
playing with physically active toys, while girls are taught on how to care for the family. This process of family roles can also be followed through
early history, where it was unusual for men to stay home and women to have any other occupation but the household. Fortunately, through the feminist
women`s movement, there was slow but progressive progress for women`s rights. As, a result, women were starting to engage in public activities
outside of their homes. Due to this change, fathers are also beginning to comprise their roles as in support of their wives decisions. Presently, it is
becoming a common role for fathers to become stay at home fathers. When groups of people hear the stay at home roles, mothers are primarily
identified with this particular role. Although stay at home fathers are increasing it is important to define this new role in order to understand their
importance in society. Stays at home fathers are in a couple family with at least one child under the age of 16 at home, who did not have a job or
business, was not looking for work, was not attending school, and was not permanently unable to work. According to Statistics Canada 2016, the
proportion of fathers participating in household work rose from 51% in 1986 to 76% in 2015. 1 in 10 of families with dad as the stay–home parent in

Abstract
Traditionally families were defined by their faithfulness and conventional sex roles. The roles of men and women were structured according to the
traditional family roles. It was believed that the father's role was to work in the office the whole day as the mother stays at home to attend to house hold
chores. For many years traditional marriage was the cornerstone of almost all societies, an important institution for the passing on of values and taking
care of children. That was then, the present is experiencing changing roles, and fathers opt for staying at home as mothers pursue their careers.

What involves staying at Home?
The decision for one to become a stay–at–home dad may encompass a lot than what meets the eye. A father considering remaining at home may
look at many factors including his earning power as compared to that of the spouse. Work attire, commuting costs, daycare costs and other
working expenses. A slight repetitive flaw is rooted along with the idea of house husbands (McKay 4). Regardless of whether the decision of men
to become primary care givers is by choice or by force, the fact is that these men take on the care giver role and perform it with a sense of
commitment to the well being and health of their families. However, the sad thing is that as they go about their duties, they are met with quizzical
looks and criticized for taking on the role of fathers who are responsible and take good care of their children and keep their families home running
smoothly. This does not mean that all stay at home parents including mothers are ideal parents, it only suggests that men also can be effective as
women in taking care of their families despite the way the society views what is normal and acceptable gender role performance. According to Frank,
in his book, The Involved Father, he argues that fathers are just doing what mothers have been doing all along and that is domestic house work. The

Another example is when Will shot paddy.

  • 2. Legalizing Lgbt Families : How The Law Shapes Parenthood Legalizing LGBT Families: How The Law Shapes Parenthood is a book that portrays what it's like to be an LGBT parent in the United States of America. This book showcases the livelihood of what some LGBT citizens face when wanting to start a family. This book does an excellent job of presenting LGBT parents and what they go through to fight for equal rights when it comes to raising a family. This book includes over 100 in–depth interviews with LGBT citizens that demonstrate how the law plays a significant role in decision–making about how the family will be organized and parenting decisions. Most of the research that was done for this book was done to portray gay family life and family diversity, or to contest or approve the stereotype. The authors of this book are Amanda K. Baumle and D'Lane R. Compton. Amanda K. Baumle is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Houston. She has written additional books that showcase the lives of LGBT citizens. D'Lane R. Compton is also an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of New Orleans. Baumle and Compton are also co–authors of Same–Sex Partners: The Demography of Sexual Orientation. Families of the past have historically relied on the establishments of blood or law. Families are often stereotypically comprised of a childbearing mother and hard–working father. This book does an exceptional job of breaking that stereotype and showing that families can include LGBT citizens. "For LGBT individuals, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Personal Narrative Analysis As I sit here now as a senior and look back at my past, I realized I would not change it. I grew up being a military daughter and since I did, there were many tears that ran down my face. During my elementary through 9th grade years, I would say I grew up without having my dad, due to the fact that he was stationed somewhere and my mom just wanted to stay in Oklahoma to keep her job. I remember all the good times I had with my dad when he was home such as going fishing, playing soccer, or just spending time with my him. I was a daddy's girl, I always loved to spend time with him while he was home. I usually got to see my dad on Christmas and that was the only holiday I spent with him.

  • 4. Double Duty for Working Parents Working parents have to deal with some problems when it comes to working and parenting. They have to both do their jobs in the workforce and care for their children at home in order to maintain their families. In other words, they cannot fully commit themselves to just working or parenting. Also, working parents have to find family time to spend with their children in order to strengthen family relationships. Traditionally, the mother stays home with her children while the father takes on the workforce and generates the family income. However, with inflation and the rising cost of living, the mother has to join the workforce so that both parents can generate sufficient income for the family. As of 2006, three of four mothers with children under 18 years old are in the workforce. Instead of being stay–home mothers, they become working mothers that work as employees away from home and as parents at home. A growing number of working mothers sacrifice their opportunities in the workforce for their children's benefit. At the start of the 20th century, 50% of married mothers with newborn children drop out of the workforce to support their children. Kimberly Palmer categorizes these women under "the opt–out generation" because they favor "hearth and home over the office." Initially, Palmer saw her mother as "a total career woman and also a total mom– and that she had managed to do... everything." She did not realize that her mother had to ride a seesaw that tried to balance the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. The Perfect Family Became A Broken Home "She is not in there. She is gone, and she said she was not coming back," whimpered my dad. At that moment, that is all we ever knew. It was all anyone ever knew. The perfect family became a broken home in 2009, but not just any broken home. It became a home searching for a renewing, searching for a reconnection. With whom? Well, we did not quite know that answer at that point of our beautiful tragedy either. From the alcoholic father, to the sleepless mother, I grew up in a family that seemed perfect enough for me. My dad, my mom, my sister Charli, and I spent most weekends with my dad 's family, our friends, and my dad 's best friend Darrell. Other than the times my dad would lash out in anger while he was drunk, life was happy–go–lucky. Every day, every year was a routine. My dad would get off work; we would get out of school. Around five o 'clock my mom would be home, and we all would go do our usual get together, which most the time consisted of watching the men of the group drink, our mom 's bringing us home early, and then the men coming in late hours of the night. Over the next few years the situation got worse. My dad hardly came home without being drunk, and my mom spent hours on top of hours waiting up on him. Eventually, she got tired of it, I guess. In the summer of 2009, my Aunt Amy and grandmother had taken us on vacation traveling from Nashville, Tennessee to Natchez, Mississippi. While on the Natchez Trace, we did not have a worry in the world. We spent ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

But you need to learn to see the wondrous blessings that got you there. In the story, "Fly Away Home," by Eve Bunting, Andrew is a boy that lives his life jumping from airport to airport to live at for a little while. In this story, the theme is that you should be grateful even in the worst times just like Andrew did. One way he shows this is by being grateful for his dad. Also, he is doing this with no home and not many belongings. In the story Andrew learns to be grateful in all times even when he doesn't have many belongings with him. One way he does this is by cherishing the food he has. He cherishes the doughnuts and milk he eats for breakfast and sometimes he even gets orange juice. He should be grateful for this because he doesn't get alot of food and some is better than none. Also, he has just blue shirts, pants, and jackets as his wardrobe. This shows how he can use what he has for what he needs and doesn't complain. This is useful becaus... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Representing that, he had to sleep in the uncomfortable environment on the airport benches and sleeping bags. This shows how he is grateful because he doesn't mind it even though it isn't his home, not that he really has one which must be hard. Secondly, He changes airports to stay at all of the time. His dad once said, "Delta, TWA, Northwest, we love them all." This represents he would much rather keep switching places so they don't get caught rather than just stay in the streets. In addition, when it is morning time or, "Dead Time," they get ready for the day in the bathroom each and every day. This shows that they can work with what they have at the moment and don't ask, or want more. This is why how Andrew was grateful even with no ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 10. Gender Roles And Family Conflict Gender roles vary from family to family, and for my family, they are a combination of many different types. For my childhood, I was raised nontraditional in the sense of masculinity and femininity. I had Barbies©, Tonka Trucks©, kitchen sets, and legos. I was never told that Barbies© were only for girls and that Tonka Truck© were only for guys. From traditional to nontraditional roles, I have been raised to be my own and unique individual. When I was younger, I was raised in a very nontraditional, gender role home. My father and mother worked and my siblings and I, were sent to daycare. After a few year of my mother and father working, my mom decided to stop working to be a stay at home mom. A lot of this was due to work–family conflict, ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... She would not ask my dad for help as she knew he would not be to please to have to stop his resting, unless dinner was done. If was not common for my dad to discipline us, unless my mother was busy handling another child. The most work my father would do, would be fixing the small things around the house or working with the things that he really enjoyed. As it is said, "what one gives to a relationship is experienced as a cost, and what one receives is experienced as a reward" (Balswick, 91). For my dad, his cost was working the hours that he did, and his reward was coming home and sitting in his chair, not having to take on the responsibilities house work and child care. My mother was huge in helping us, kids, with our homework and our needs. One thing different about my mom was that she was typically the one who enforced the discipline. She was adamant in make sure we knew what was tolerated and what was not. With the changes in gender roles, "the stakes are high, as the outcome of these decisions [affect] everything from the stability of marriage to the equality between men and women" (Cohen, 412). My parents are now divorced and part of that, I feel, is due to the fact that my parents had to different mindsets as to the gender roles in our family. My dad felt women should stay at home, cook clean, raise children and obey their husbands. Men were to work and provide the money that would put the food on the table. ...

  • 11. Mother Culture Is Good For Young Girls 1.Throughout our readings we have seen gender performed in many ways from Toddlers in Tiaras to the discussion of Feminist Masculinity and the questions of motherhood and its prices. In Cinderella Ate my Daughter, Peggy Orenstein lays out the many way we have taught our girl to be princesses and argues whether or not the princess culture is good for young girls. Orenstein talks about how toy companies are gendering not only their toys, but also their advertisements making everything glitter pink or baby blue. She even talks about how babies weren't colored coded until the early twentieth century. Orenstein lays it all starting from the beginning with girls and the color pink and taking it to the end with female bodies and objectification. The Double Standard article puts all our beliefs in check and makes us realize that women can and do have sexual desires despite Orensteins remarks about how women should "look sexy, but not feel sexual." Orenstein admire the little girls on Toddler in Tiara, but wonders whether or not teaching these kids so early in age to be a sexual being (i.e.to be a women), will affect their self–image and well being later on. Then there are the earlier articles stating that a mother should be a mother and have no other desire to work or have fun, and the Bell Hooks book that says women should have the choice to be a SAHM or the bread winer.

It was the first day of kindergarten, my mother took me to the school and as we were walking in she told me, "Don't worry sweetheart, you are going to make so many friends and mommy will be here to pick you up after the day is over." We hadn't even made it into the classroom and I was already crying because I didn't want to leave my mom. I had never been away from my her for a whole day, how in the world did they expect me to do that when I was only about five years old. She told me it would be alright and then proceeded to go back home. I spent half of the day in the classroom crying, refusing to do anything but eventually gave in because I was hungry. When my mom picked me up from school that day, she asked me how the day was, and by that time I had forgotten about how scared I was to be without her. I was so excited for the next day.

  • 17. Character Analysis Of Andrew In Fly Away Home By Eve Bunting Hopefull. That describes Andrew in Fly Away Home by Eve Bunting. Andrew lives in a airport. He want the live a normal life but he can't because he's stuck in an airport without a home. Though in a tough situation he still manages to keep a positive attitude, and he also is helpful. He is so young yet he is still hopeful. How would you react living in an airport since you were young, well Andrew manages to keep a positive attitude. In the story Andrew said "My dad and I live in the airport, that's because we don't have a home and the airport is better than the streets." This shows his attitude while living in the airport it's tough but he does not want to show his dad that he truly wants to live in a house. Andrew tries to stay positive through the situation he's going through. But he is a lot more positive than most people would be in his predicament. Another example on how Andrew is positive is when he saw the bird get stuck in the airport, "Don't stop trying!" he told it silently. "Don't! You can get out." This part is significant to the story by showing how he is encouraging the bird to continue trying, that the bird can get out. But this makes me wonder if maybe he was just talking to himself because he has no one to help him stay positive. His dad surely does not encourage him his dad likes it at the airport his dad does not understand what Andrew really wants, yet Andrew still fights and he still has hope. The last example on how Andrew is positive is when he said "Then I remember the bird, It took awhile but a door opened and when the bird left, when it flew free, I knew it was singing." It is important to notice that before he said this he almost lost hope, he got mad at the people around him because they had more than him. But he then tried to focus on something positive this shows that he truly wants to have hope and be positive. Many people face challenges all the time. But the character Andrew in fly away home lives in an airport and helps his dad to get out. One example is he can't get noticed by other people, they stay among the crowds change airlines and sleep sitting up. Even though Andrew is just a kid he doesn't complain about all the walking and trying not to get noticed. This is helpful ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

This not only reduce a woman's ability to cut back on work schedule, but also prohibit her from changing careers if it simply does not suit her. There are disadvantages as it relates to men as well.

They are constantly being criticized by society and their manhood is constantly being questioned for having their wives work and provide for the family while they stay home and take care of the children.

  • 20. The Effects Of Parental Gender Roles On Children With Stay... Bridging the gap between previous studies, the current research explores the influence of parental gender roles on children with stay at home dads. Acknowledging that this area of interest provided inconsistent results, predictions are that experiences will vary. However, it is thought that children's views of domestic and unpaid labour division will be more equal. Results of the study validated previous findings, with a supposed explanation that implicit and explicit ideas have more impact than accounted for. However, it is shown that parents of stay at home dads did have an egalitarian take on gender roles in home and work. The two biggest components of a child's cognitive development are the individual and their environment. So it is little surprise that by the ages of 5 and 7 children already internalise and express knowledge of gender roles displayed in society by way of unpaid (ie. household) and paid labour division. Previous research has supplied evidence of this claim (Durkin & Nugent 1998, Martin & Ruble, 1998), however it is found that after the age of 7, children's thoughts surrounding gender roles become more fluid in interpretation. Furthermore, it is discovered that there is a positive association between parental gender ideas and their children's attitudes towards gender roles (Epstein & Ward, 2011, Fulcher, 2010). Fulcher (2010) found that when mothers held more traditional (women more likely to have an 'at home' role) idea of their gender stereotype, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

When it comes to this question whether a woman should let their men become a stay at home dad, people have different opinions about this topic. In modern society, men are viewed as the breadwinner, but then again it has always been that way. This tradition goes further back even in ancient times, male and females recognized theirgender roles. The men would always leave to hunt for food and water, while the women would stay to care for the children but, as you know things change over time. We live in a time where females are no longer obligated to be a stay at home mom. Women have fought their way through this stereotype that women cannot do the same things as men. Therefore, why can't men be accepted to be stay at home dads? "SAHDs also have to contend with the societal perception that being a househusband is unmanly" (Sacks, 257).

Even for stay at home moms, people will view the women as a freeloader, and lazy just as with stay at home dads because they choose to be at home to care for their children. Whether it is the mother or the father that decides to be the primary caregiver or the breadwinner both will still benefit from it.

  • 26. Pursuing A Career Or Job Being able to pursue a career or job that you find passion in is a beautiful thing. We as individuals in modern society have the ability to choose whatever we want to be in life. As a society, we are okay with individuals going for careers as long as they "fall in line" with their gender. Usually, men go for jobs where they are able to show their masculinity, strength, or love for automobiles. For example, if a man pursues a job in the automobile, constructions, or sports then everything is okay with the world. If a woman pursues a job that mostly women go for such as a nanny, teacher, or hairstylist then that is okay because we want our women to have feminine or nurturing jobs. When a man or a women choose to go for a job that does not pertain to their gender things can get pretty ugly. Gender Discrimination means "discrimination based on a person 's gender or sex, which more often affects girls and women. Because of gender discrimination, girls and women do not have the same opportunities as boys and men for education, meaningful careers, & political influence" (dictionary.com).

Well, my parents went to work every day to provide for my brother and I and we had everything we ever needed. We lived in a nice house, had a dog, and I never went without. I was able to dream about the future and the possibilities that were out there for me to seize. With that being said the first topic I would like to discuss with you is the issue of childrearing. If you look at the US over the last 50–100 years within the scope of childrearing you will find a common theme. The "normal" house consists of a father who leaves every day to go to work and provide for the family and a mother who stays home to take care of the children and the house. This has been a standard of living in the US for a very long time. A recent article published by the Pew Research Center states: "While most stay–at–home parents are mothers, fathers represent a growing share of all at–home parents – 16% in 2012, up from 10% in 1989. Roughly a quarter of these stay–at–home fathers (23%) report that they are home mainly because they cannot find a job. Nearly as many (21%) say the main reason they are home is to care for their home or family. This represents a fourfold increase from 1989, when only 5% of stay–at–home fathers said they were home primarily to care for family" (Livingston 2014). This is interesting in many ways. Less than thirty years ago the number of stay at home dads was drastically lower. One might say that the only reason that these dads are staying home is because they cannot find work outside the home. The statistics disprove this theory. While it is true that some have suffered from a shaky economy, many are home because they choose to be. 23 percent say that they are home due to the fact that they cannot find work. 21 percent are home by their own choosing.

A man's purpose in life was also to please his family by becoming someone important and bringing his family satisfaction and honor.

However men and women have realized in recent years that both gender are capable of their opposites duties regardless of what society believes.

If Brady had a "wife" she would take on the roles of the traditional father. She would go back to school, provide for the family if need be. She would not have to worry about the children's needs so Brady could focus on herself and her well being. Sacks essay contrasts Brady's essay by explaining the benefits of having the father stay at home to take care of the classic mother duties. "... men interfere with their wives' career aspirations by their refusal to become their children's primary caregivers forcing women to sidetrack their careers if they want children" (Sacks 265). Children who are raised with a stay at home dad are equally influenced by both parents. Although the father is taking on the traditional roles of the mother, no one can replace the care children receive from their mom. The mom is still the mom and the dad is still the dad. The children will do dad things with their dad and will still do mom things with their mom, even if the mom is not at home with the children all day. Men and women alike are capable of caring for their children with the same level of tenderness. A Majority of people believe stay at home fathers are lackadaisical, unable to find work or too feminine to bear the load of providing. Providing for the family can come in many different forms.

  • 31. How Working Moms And Dads Growing up, I always dreamt of being a wonderful mother and wife. I want to be a woman that works hard and also takes cares of her responsibilities. Coming up is seemed like the right thing for a mom to be home taking care of the children while The Father is at work. As life goes on the roles have switched. What used to be traditional is no longer traditional. In a Modern day family, Either the mother works while dad is home, maybe there is no dad, or maybe both parents work. Today's American families are more likely than those of past decades to feature two full–time working parents. According to A new Pew Research Center report looks at how working moms and dads in two–parent households are balancing their jobs with their family... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Some 54% of parents in households with two full–time working parents say the mother does more to manage the children's schedule and activities, while 39% say this task is shared equally and 6% say the father does more. And 47% say the mother takes on more when their children fall ill, equal to the share saying they split this duty equally; just 6% say the father does more of this. Although i disagree i believe splitting everything down the middle, that puts the stress on both parents instead of one. i disagree with her theory because fathers don 't like doing womanly things. I don 't see a father coming home cooking dinner after a long 12 hour shift at work. Nor can mom if she worked the same hours. If both parents work who has time to do anything when they do get home. Their too tired to interact with their family which will take a toll on the children. If both parents are taking on the roles how do they determine who 's spending more time with the children? How do they decide who picks up one week to the next ? About four–in–ten full–time working mothers say they spend too little time with their kids. By comparison, 18% of part–time working mothers and 11% of non–working mothers say the same. For their part, working fathers are significantly more likely than working mothers to say they spend too little time with their children – fully half of full–time working fathers say this is the case.

  • 32. The Role Of Women In Barbie Doll, By Marge Piercy People are oftentimes cast into roles or duties that some might believe are duties for certain groups of people. For example, some people feel nursing is a career for women; and when they encounter a male nurse, they might not be as receptive to him. In other words, they just don't feel comfortable with their skills. Also, society has placed women in the role of stay–at–home moms and housekeepers. Men who take on the duties of stay–at–home dads are sometimes frowned upon by society and assumptions are made that the dad is not performing "manly" duties. However, there is no one mold fit all society. People, especially women, should not be stereotyped in roles or duties that society deemed "women only". The poems "Barbie Doll", "Girl", and "Daystar" reveals the pain, shame, and loneliness that some women might experience because of society's beliefs. Marge Piercy's poem "Barbie Doll" reveals society's perception and expectations of girls as soon as they are born. She is to grow–up and adhere to normal girl behavior. Behavior that does not deviate from restrictive roles and ideals. Piercy starts the poem off with gender recognition so that the reader can understand the "girlchild" role in life as a woman. "In other words, she will fit into society's mold; and the use of the word "presented" rather than given lets the reader know the importance of the items" (2). After all, they are her training tools. "This girlchild was born as usual and presented dolls that did pee–pee and miniature GE stoves and irons and wee lipsticks the color of cherry candy" (1–4). Dolls that pee–pee are to train her for motherhood. A stove is to train her for preparing meals; and an iron is for making sure her family is always polished. The lipstick is to remind her that society expects her to be beautiful as well. Puberty is not a magical time. Piercy use of the word "magic" and puberty together draws attention from society's perceived "Barbie Doll" to reality (5). Puberty is a time that can create havoc, as the "girlchild" found out. "The author says that one of the milestones of the girl's life happens in the "magic of puberty" (5). "Puberty is a time of awkward transitions and not a time of magic, but expressing it in a ...

Men in female occupations often have male supervisors, it's easier for them to have "gendered bond with their supervisor" which leads to higher salary and promotions (Wingfield). But when it come to "black males" it's completely different, black males often experience gendered racism. That limit them to advance in the career they hope to accomplish in. Wingfield created a term , the glass barrier to describe a situation that can prevent black men from riding the glass escalator (wingfield). In the reading it also states that black men and women fight or compete for belonging in the workplace because to some , "blackness equates to lower qualifications, standards, and competence" (WIngfield).

I kept a smile on my face for her. A few weeks went by and it was like a roller coaster of happy and horrible moments. I found a few comfort moments with my dad but he didn't comfort me the way my mom did. I tried to make the best with staying with him. Then in March it started to warm up. Until one afternoon in Lakota class, my auntie Shawn, who was the nurse called one of my friends and me into her office. I didn't know why she wanted me but I got nervous because I thought I had to get a shot or something. I walked into her room and I never felt so happy in my life.

  • 36. The Importance Of Family Roles Family roles, especially in traditional families, are an undying debate. Starting from childhood, through various toys boys are taught to focus on playing with physically active toys, while girls are taught on how to care for the family. This process of family roles can also be followed through early history, where it was unusual for men to stay home and women to have any other occupation but the household. Fortunately, through the feminist women`s movement, there was slow but progressive progress for women`s rights. As, a result, women were starting to engage in public activities outside of their homes. Due to this change, fathers are also beginning to comprise their roles as in support of their wives decisions. Presently, it is becoming a common role for fathers to become stay at home fathers. When groups of people hear the stay at home roles, mothers are primarily identified with this particular role. Although stay at home fathers are increasing it is important to define this new role in order to understand their importance in society. Stays at home fathers are in a couple family with at least one child under the age of 16 at home, who did not have a job or business, was not looking for work, was not attending school, and was not permanently unable to work. According to Statistics Canada 2016, the proportion of fathers participating in household work rose from 51% in 1986 to 76% in 2015. 1 in 10 of families with dad as the stay–home parent in 2015 compared to 1 in 70 of ...

Stay at Home Fathers Running Head: STAY AT HOME DADS Stay at Home Dads Name: Course: College: Tutor: Date: Abstract Traditionally families were defined by their faithfulness and conventional sex roles. The roles of men and women were structured according to the traditional family roles. It was believed that the father's role was to work in the office the whole day as the mother stays at home to attend to house hold chores. For many years traditional marriage was the cornerstone of almost all societies, an important institution for the passing on of values and taking care of children. That was then, the present is experiencing changing roles, and fathers opt for staying at home as mothers pursue their careers. Introduction The stereotype that men ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... What involves staying at Home? The decision for one to become a stay–at–home dad may encompass a lot than what meets the eye. A father considering remaining at home may look at many factors including his earning power as compared to that of the spouse. Work attire, commuting costs, daycare costs and other working expenses. A slight repetitive flaw is rooted along with the idea of house husbands (McKay 4). Regardless of whether the decision of men to become primary care givers is by choice or by force, the fact is that these men take on the care giver role and perform it with a sense of commitment to the well being and health of their families. However, the sad thing is that as they go about their duties, they are met with quizzical looks and criticized for taking on the role of fathers who are responsible and take good care of their children and keep their families home running smoothly. This does not mean that all stay at home parents including mothers are ideal parents, it only suggests that men also can be effective as women in taking care of their families despite the way the society views what is normal and acceptable gender role performance. According to Frank, in his book, The Involved Father, he argues that fathers are just doing what mothers have been doing all along and that is domestic house work.
