“Absolutely. One-hundred percent,” Neill answered without hesitation. Karl repeated his question. “Do you really believe your children would be better off if you had died instead of your wife?” “It’s not even close,” Neill said. He quickly counted off all the things Deanna had done for their family, detailing her involvement in just about every aspect of their children’s lives. She was simply a much more important cog in the family wheel. “You guys helped me out with my daughter and the hockey game situation, but Deanna would have handled it on her own.” Neill concluded, “So, yes, for my children’s sake, there’s no question that the wrong parent died.” The discussion leading up to the exchange between Neill and Karl had coalesced around the familiar topic of parental competence—or, as the men often saw it, parental incompetence. Karl had shared his latest blunder, which occurred when he took his two children on a family trip to Connecticut for a wedding. As they were leaving their hotel room for the ceremony, Karl noticed for the first time how his children were dressed. “So, there’s my ten-year-old son wearing this pair of khakis that don’t come close to fitting him. The pant legs stopped about three inches above his ankles and he couldn’t even button the pants because the waistband was so tight. He looked ridiculous, but they were the only pair of pants I’d brought for him to wear.” Yet another instance of being unprepared, something Karl hated. “I’m standing there looking at my son in the hallway of this hotel and I think to myself, ‘No way this happens if Susan were still here.’ ” “I know just what you mean,” Neill said. “Deanna did so many things better than I’m doing them now. I feel like I’m screwing up pretty much all the time.” Then he said the words that caught Karl by surprise: “The wrong parent died.” Neill had never been comfortable opening up about his feelings. He joined the support group only for his children’s sake.

This study represents a system of experiments and data accompanied by scientifi c and methodological interpretations, of attachment patterns. Secure attachment is considered by many authors to be a source of parental competence. These quintessences express both, the conception of parental education and their attitude towards the typical child or the child with disabilities. Studies show that some parents adapt better than others to the child’s particularities. The family, specifi cally, off ers the child the climate of emotional security and is the fi rst social group in which the child practices social behaviors and discovers himself.

Hockey Game

“Dad, you cannot be serious!” Julie had made what she thought was a simple request: Could she go to the hockey game with her friends on Friday night? To her father, Neill, it was a very big deal. That Friday would be the first anniversary of the death of his wife (Julie’s mother), Deanna. Neill had spent weeks figuring out just the right way to mark the date, ultimately deciding to take his four children to visit the gravesite, release balloons, and then have dinner at what had been Deanna’s favorite restaurant. Most importantly, they would spend the day together as a family, something Deanna would have liked. Now, with the anniversary only a week away, his fifteen-year-old daughter wanted out. “Are you really saying that I can’t go?” Julie asked again. “That’s exactly what I’m saying,” Neill said tersely. “You do realize why next Friday is so important, right?” When he questioned whether she cared more about going to a hockey game than honoring her mother, Julie became indignant. She shot back that just because she wanted to hang out with her friends did not mean she had forgotten about Mom. The argument escalated quickly. Neill was resolute; like it or not, she would be spending next Friday night with her family. Julie stormed off to her room and slammed the door. For the next several days, they barely spoke to each other. Neill could not believe his daughter was acting as if the first anniversary of her mother’s death was just another day. Still, he hated that they were arguing. He knew that Julie was grieving too and he worried, not for the first time since Deanna died, that his initial reaction had been unnecessarily harsh. Neill felt lost and alone. As he had done from time to time over the past year, he lay down on his bed, looked up, and talked aloud to Deanna. But the one-way “conversation” brought little clarity. The next night, Neill attended a support group for men who were widowed fathers raising children on their own.

Critical Consideration

Initially, Oliver Twist (1839) might seem representative of the archetypal male social plot, following an orphan and finding him a place by discovering the father and settling the boy within his inheritance. But Agnes Fleming haunts this narrative, undoing its neat, linear transmission. This reconsideration of maternal inheritance and plot in the novel occurs against the backdrop of legal and social change. I extend the critical consideration of the novel's relationship to the New Poor Law by thinking about its reflection on the bastardy clauses. And here, of course, is where the mother enters. Under the bastardy clauses, the responsibility for economic maintenance of bastard children was, for the first time, legally assigned to the mother, relieving the father of any and all obligation. Oliver Twist manages to critique the bastardy clauses for their release of the father, while simultaneously embracing the placement of the mother at the head of the family line. Both Oliver and the novel thus suggest that it is the mother's story that matters, her name through which we find our own. And by containing both plots – that of the father and the mother – Oliver Twist reveals the violence implicit in traditional modes of inheritance in the novel and under the law.

Teen pregnancy provides many disadvantages for health, mental, psychological, economic well-being, career opportunities, poverty, and the future life. The aim of the study was to identify the determinants underlying teen pregnancy incidence. This study was a quantitative study with categorical analytic method. The study design used a case control with two comparison groups. The groups were control group and case group. The population in this study was all women who lived in the Wonosari, Sukosari, and Krajan Pandansari district and had or were pregnant for the first time at the age of less than 20 years old. Seventy three respondents were recruited using cluster sampling technique. The case group consists of women who were or had pregnant for the first time at the age of less than 20 years old and their children are currently aged ≤ 1 years old. The control group consists of women who were pregnant for the first time at the age of > 20 years old. The data was collected using a questionnaire. The findings showed that education, history of teen pregnancy in family and the age of marriage were related to the incidence of teen pregnancy after being controlled by information access. Low-educated respondents had 20.8 times higher chance of experiencing teen pregnancy; respondents with a history of teen pregnancy in the family had 4.9 times higher chance of experiencing teen pregnancy; respondents who were married at the age of < 20 years old had 12.1 times higher chance of experiencing teen pregnancy; respondents with poor understanding of condom use had 5.9 times higher chance of teenage pregnancy. In conclusion, the findings suggest to build good interactions in the family based on education and a good understanding of sex education.
