Personal Narrative: The Real Care Baby Project

784 Words4 Pages

Baby Project

This past weekend I embarked on a journey, and no probably not the journey you think of. This weekend I had to take home the Real Care Baby project. Going into this project I was not really quite sure what to expect. I mean I have heard stories about how this baby project is an awful experience and how it will ruin my weekend. For example, just walking into the parenting room to pick up my baby a teacher laughed when she heard I was going to be taking home the baby and said, “You have to take the baby home? That is awful, it was easily the worst weekend of my High School years.” Hearing this did not really sit well with me and needless to say I became nervous of what the weekend would hold for me. At this point I guess …show more content…

One of the things I found to be more difficult was homework. While trying to do my homework I was constantly being interrupted in the middle of a Math problem, or English sentence. This made the whole process very difficult, I could not get enough time to focus on what I was trying to accomplish. This made my homework take way longer than it should have. Another thing it made it difficult to do was have a social life. Some of my friends texted me and asked if I wanted to do something this weekend. The only response I had was, “Sorry man, I have my baby project this weekend and I need to stay close to it.” The baby really hindered any plans I had and made a social life nearly impossible. If I were too have a baby at this moment it would drastically change my future plans. I would have to stay close to home and immediately get a job to support my baby. This is not something I am interested in doing. I want to be able to go anywhere I want and to any college I want, but if I had a baby this would not be the case.
In conclusion, I learned that the Real Care Baby Project was a very positive experience. It has taught me what it would be like if I had a kid around and it has also taught me about responsibility. I learned that if I had a kid it would drastically change my life. And I am just not ready for these kind of changes. The Real Care Baby Project has shown me that I do not want to have a baby until I am much, much

    (155). In today’s society, these gender roles are quickly fading away, although there are still some mothers that insist on staying home with her children because they fear the thought of somebody else raising her kids, and missing out on the big milestones of a child’s life. What most of these women may not realize is that they still will be around for these milestones, such as the child’s first words, or them crawling, then walking, because having a job does not consume every minute of the day. They will still be able to spend their time before or after work with their child, in which many of the special moments will take place. There are thousands of single mothers around the world that are forced to raise their child on their own, which means that they must leave their child in the care of someone else, and get a job almost immediately after their child is born in order to earn enough money to support her little family.

There was a black car, the one time is what we referred them to, this was something that was not out of the ordinary to see around my home. But today was different, two men wearing business suits stepped out of it and went into my home. I stayed back just to get a glimpse of what was going on. I see my mom rush out of the house and into the car, little did I know this would be the last time I would see her as a

    The problem wasn 't the awkwardness of people staring because of carrying a baby around. The struggle was having to multitask with it, and make sure you always had supervision over it. You just couldn 't leave it in some classroom for the time you went somewhere else, you had to take it with you it wasn’t a option unless you wanted to lose major points just cause you couldn 't take it with you for an extra hour or two. Also you had to remember you had the baby to begin with, since we weren 't used of having it at first it was easy of leaving it behind but as time went on you got used to it you knew when you had it and when you didn 't so you wouldn 't be able to leave it behind and run the risk of losing points for a huge mistake like forgetting it or leaving it
