My parents Parents are the ones who guide the child and teach him how to live successful life; therefore, we think that for a happy couple, and for a good education for the child, two people must share many similarities and must agree on each other’s decisions. My parents have been married 18 years and they are living a successful life without any problems and I’m really proud of them. However, they are two different persons. Their differences In view of life, their personalities and their origins. My mother is a housewife woman, while my father is an IT manager. For both of them, their family is everything. For my father, he’s strict when it comes to studies and being serious. He always tries to advise me and my brothers about our studies and our futures. He is too generous and he spends the money without limits. My father loves taking trips to any place, loves discovering and enjoying life with us. My mother has another view of life that one shouldn’t spend his money on whatever. For her, money is earned in order to be spent on something useful and it always takes us a lot of effort to persuade her to take trips with us during the holidays. My parents have a similar personality when it comes to romance, they are both romantic and interested to each other.

My mother is the opposite, she remembers our birthdays, but she doesn’t like to celebrate them. My father has a different personality than my mother. My father is strict, but fun in the same time. He trains us to be discipline, serious and polite. He has some rule’s house like not to come back home late at night. He’s also sever when he’s angry. For my mother, she is a fun woman and she’s not too strict with us. As her daughter, she knows everything about me and I

    Many kids have their parents as theirs. I have both. I choose my dad because he is easy to talk to, he doesn't yell and is very understanding. He always spends as much time with me as he can. Many adults get upset very easily. Some let their children do whatever they want. I believe that both are equally harmful. I consider my dad as in the middle of the two. Sure, he has his moments when he's aggrevated, but it doesn't get the best of him. He takes me to Auto Shows, sporting events, and many other father-son activities. As you can see, my dad, as well as my mom, play important roles in my…

    I grew up in a joint family in India, which had 3 married couple and their kids. Marital relationships that I saw in my family were not great but not bad either. All the men used to work in the family business and the women used to take care of the children and the house. Many times my parents used to fight and my dad used to scream at my mom, but my mom never had the guts to say anything to him. I always saw that my mom was scared of him and I used to question myself why doesn’t she reply back. And being a girl myself I used to think that probably girls cant say anything when theirs husband are screaming at them. I used to talk to my mom and tell her why cant she reply back, but I never really got an answer. I always saw my mom as the weaker one in the relationship. On the other hand we had a family friend and both husband wife used to work as college professors. In their house the husband never screamed at the wife, I am sure they had conflicts but you could totally see the respect that he gave to his wife. When I grew a little bit older my mom started telling me how she felt. That was when she told me that she was a housewife and my dad was the one who earned in the family and thus he could talk like that to my mom. My dad always dominated her as he is the man of the family and is the one responsible for all the decisions of the family. And this was not only my parents I 4saw this trend throughout my family with the other two couples as well.…

    In a household where the mother and father are the biological parents of their children, that family tends to do well over all. When there is both the mom and dad the child has more of a chance to learn and grow. As a child explores their surroundings they need the support from both parents. When exploring and experimenting, children need a male influence to reinsure themselves. The male presence also plays a big role when developing motor skills. Unlike most mothers, fathers are usually more “rough” with their child and are physical with them. Such as tossing the child in the air or pushing them done a slide. On the other hand, mothers are the reinsurance in love and care that children need. Although playing with dad might be fun, every now and again the child will end up getting hurt. And the mother is called on to take care of the child. Quite often when children are young, they will first look for a reaction from the people around them to figure out how they should react. And when a child sees his mothers reaction he is more likely to copy her. A mother is also there to nurture the child in self-care such as bathing and keeping objects organized. Mothers and fathers play huge roles in a child’s life. The mothers show the child how to have patients, love, and how to…

    I have been a daddy’s girl ever since I was a little girl. We did everything together, from playing Counter Strike: Source, dueling each other in Yu-Gi-Oh, and even watching scary movies together. We have been glued to the hip for as long as I could remember. My mom on the other hand, we did not have as much in common. The only thing we both liked was the Harry Potter series as well as the Lord of the Ring series. Little did we know, dressing up as fictional characters would bring us closer together.…

    To begin, parents always support you. They believe in you, even if you struggle. They guide you whenever you need comfort. Parents also usually know more than you in almost all things, from academic subjects to real life situations. Since I am with my family for hours every day, there is time for them to show me what I might know and teach me what I don’t know. Whether I need help in math, or a task like putting on a tie, my parents will show me to the best of their ability. Overall, my parents have changed three things: my grades, my attitude towards my family, and my outlook on school and how to do well in…

    She took very good care of me, and she showed a lot of affection towards me. She would buy me things that I asked for. Like, a car toy, a little fish that I like or snacks that I wanted to eat. She makes me feel loved and secure, so I have all my trust in her. As for my dad, when he takes me to go to the grocery store or to a park, I would see a snack bar and I asked him if he could take me there for snacks. Occasionally he would, but most of the time, he would say no, and say we have snacks at home and that I can wait. He rarely buys me any toys I wanted. So, my level of trust for my dad is very little compared to my mom. Until now, I have more trust in my mom than I do with my dad, because of my experience as a…

    “I don't like to give advice. I like to give people information because everyone's like is different, and everyone's journey is different” -Dolly Parton. Different people face different challenges, whether its the loss of a loved one or a divorce. In my case I grew up around my mothers family and visited my fathers side once a week. I remember dreading going to my fathers only because I grew so close to my mother, and I still do to this day. Technically, I have grew up with both of my parents, but it has been difficult since they are both polar opposites.…

    Growing up in a Pakistani household I was expected not to question or disrespect my father in any way. My father who was raised in Pakistan was a stern man, and stubborn at that. My father and I never really talked about anything serious. There came a point where I started to think and express my own opinions, which were different from what my father had. Over the past year I had become more independent of my father due the growing differences between both of us. Being raised in different societies caused a major conflict between my father and I, but now I realized that I could embrace a new culture, and still keep traditional values.…
