Not So Easy

As I watched "The Baby Borrowers" today, I paid attention to how the teens reacted to the babies. No, I don't think the teens who say they are ready for parenthood are right because becoming a parent is a big responsibilty. Once you become a parent you must be patient with the baby, have some source of income, and have some type of experiences. Most teens feel like they are ready for parenthood because they really don't know what a frustrating job it good be. For example, Morgan got frustrated with her boyfriend when he kept trying to tell her how to wash the bottles out. Morgan then gave up and told him to do it hiself. Teens feel like all they have to do is feed the baby, change the baby, and give the baby a bath. Having a baby come with a lot of responsibies such as, taking the baby to doctors appointments, caring for them when sick, playing with them, making sure they eat when hungry, etc. While watching "The Baby Borrowers" I realized that most of the teens thought they were ready to be parents until their experiments with the babies.

Before I become a parent I want to have a good job and a stable home. I want to have a good job so that i can provide for my for my child. Providing for my child means having some where for us to stay, and making sure I can afford needs for my child such as, pampers, milk, and clothes. I want to have a stable home so that my child and I will feel comfortable.

Obama Quilt

In the Crfritz Art Center quilt 12 (War & Freedom: African American Veterans Hail the Commander-in-Chief ) stood out to me more because of the details. The red,white, and blue which represents the United States flag. The quilt also has letters from people, articles, and also mentions Amendent 15 which all caught my eye. On this quilt Carole also has pictures related to war and a article about Obama making history. Carole's message through her quilt basically states that our nation has overcome its struggles.(war,and segregation,etc.) For example, many years ago African Americans and Caucasians couldn't even attend the same schools, use the same bathroom, go to the same restaurant, or even live in the same neighborhood. Now African Americans and Caucasians are able to come together and attend the same schools,use the same bathroom, go to the same resraurants, and live in the same neighborhood. Obama becoming president has proven that our nation has really changed.

A popular culture song I find interesting is “Your Man Ain’t Me ” by Chris Brown because I can relate to Chris Brown’s thoughts of the girl leaving her boyfriend. I can relate to Chris Brown’s thought of the girl leaving her boyfriend because one time when I was going with this boy my ex boyfriend kept telling me “I don’t know why you with him and he probably cheating on you.” I kept telling my ex boyfriend well if he is I will find out. In the song Chris Brown is telling the girl she needs to leave her boyfriend because he isn’t treating her right. For example, “Hey girl, what’s up? You’ve been going through it huh? Yeah I know and I know your man ain’t been treating you right but…..your man ain’t me listen.” Another example, “Girl, I bet that he be actin’ all cocky like he deserves you, and you so lucky to be with him bet he treatin’ you rude always got an attitude like he’s the only dude made for you. But I bet he didn’t count on a little dude like me comin’ around (giving you things to think about cause I know whats up) Since he ain’t tryna step it up, don’t you think you should give him up? (Cause he ain’t wroth your love) Stop tripping I know you got a man but girl he slipping I can see myself getting’ in where I fit in." Chris Brown is telling the girl don’t love someone that doesn’t deserve you. He wants the girl to realize that her boyfriend is taking advantage of her by cheating on her and doing what he wants and still comes back to her. My ex boyfriend was basically telling me that the boy I was with didn’t really care about me but I never listen to him.
