Download or read book Dad s Turn How to Cope when Mom s Not Around written by Chris St-Jean and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-03-14 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Moms, for the most part, have become multitasking masters. Evidence from a recent study in the American Sociological Review supports this claim; the study, conducted by researchers from Bar-Ilan University in Israel and Michigan State University, discovered that moms multitask, on average, 10 hours per week more than their male parental counterparts and this is in addition to either a full- or part-time job. But what happens when Moms not around? Im not talking about when tragedy strikes what if Mom has gone on a trip, gone back to work, or taken up a new hobby that takes her out of the house more frequently than not? Whether you have one or several children, parenting is a challenge, and mothers often bear the brunt of the workload; studies continue to show that mothers are still carrying the majority of household responsibilities. As such, the fathers may feel a little lost if not completely overwhelmed when it comes to parenting solo. Then, when fathers hear their partners telling the kids, Remember to listen to Dad, or Dont forget to brush your teeth, they may wonder, Does she think Im incompetent? Theyre my kids too. Of course theyre going to listen. This can cause some resentment which may, in turn, get passed on to the kids in the form of frustration or impatience. Its important for fathers to understand how to take better control of the family situation and household when their wives are temporarily out of the picture. Staying at home to take care of the kids is not, as some men have kidded with their friends, a holiday; in some countries, men are required to take that time, otherwise the family loses some of those coveted subsidies that many countries dole out now for day care and other childcare needs. With those trends growing from country to country, and in an economy where it may be necessary or beneficial for the father to stay home, its helpful if not completely necessary for Dad to prepare for time alone with his kids. MEET THE AUTHOR Christina an Ontario English teacher with a great passion for American literature in particular and the written word in general. Her two daughters, aged 3 and 7, also seem to have a love of books, as her 7 year old just started reading Tom Sawyer herself. Christina follows global events as closely as she can but also enjoys entertainment news. Currently, she is working towards a black belt in karate. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Its hard to remember the most important thing when youre in the thick of parenting, but know this: youre on their schedule now. That said, dont be surprised if everything goes a little off the rails for the first little bit when youre home alone. Life will not run with military efficiency down to the last nanosecond. Kids get sick; homework or lunches get forgotten; crises of minor and major proportions abound every twenty minutes or so. Thats perfectly normal. Brian Hershberg decided to stay home for a week while his wife went on a six-day business trip to Barcelona, seeing it as an opportunity to see what his wife, who works full-time, went through on a daily basis in raising their seven-year-old son, Noah. He was a bit chagrined to realize that he needed a tip sheet to simply make it through Noahs schedule and feeding inclinations on any given day. He also saw his blog, Diary of a Tiger Father on Juggle, published on wsj.com. Strangely enough, this is fairly common for most households: the mother is generally the parent who does the majority of the running around, while the father fills in on some of the in-between time.

Download or read book The Immortality Curse Phoenix Rising written by Sam Hartman and published by Manifest Fantasy. This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a group of industrial AI controllers said they were bored and wanted to use excess capacity to create an online game, they were met with ridicule. Then the beta came out, and the joke was on the rest of the industry. The world was the ultimate in virtual reality. There were no limits to what players could do. The AI touch mattered. The NPCs were just that much more realistic. The tavern wench Hulda had captivated David's interest like no other NPC: she was vibrant and full of life. Before he could lose his courage, his new character Ariel was born. She was a foxy, curvaceous goddess, and like Hulda, she would take all life had to offer. Through her, David was free to live fantasies he could never find courage to face as himself. David had already succeeded against the monsters and dungeons. That had freed him from his world. Ariel was going to be even better: she was going to free him from himself. That first night, playing Ariel was everything David hoped it would be. But as Ariel learned more about Hulda's world, she realized things were not as they seemed between the NPCs and players. In Hulda's world, the true enemies were not the monsters Ariel could see, but rather the fears in her own mind. To survive in this world, Ariel needed to face those fears and find her place in a world where even her notions of right and wrong are turned upside down.

Download or read book We You Me written by Laura Ruth Ellis and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After years of caring for her family, author Laura Ruth Ellis finally felt free to pursue a new life purpose. Almost immediately, however, she was pulled back into the role of dutiful daughter when her mother succumbed to dementia. The years she spent as full-time caregiver were stressful and exhausting—but from the fears and challenges came the transformation she had sought all along. In We You Me, Laura recalls from her journal entries the emotional turmoil the caregiver role brought to her and the lessons it taught her. With intimacy and honesty, she recounts the stresses, strains, and shame she endured along the way. As the years went on, a change began; she moved from denying life’s circumstances to accepting life as it comes, eventually gaining an awareness of life’s bigger picture in the process. Her focus shifted from duty to others with love to love of duty to her inner self. Life presented the role she needed to finally find and accept who she most wanted to be and her buried dream was released. This personal narrative presents a journey of acceptance through the realms of caregiving toward true self-knowledge, as one woman’s dream deferred for duty is brought to life.
