Although they never really had a chance to get to know each other, they still constantly worried about each other’s well being. Odysseus worried about how Telemachus's future was in danger due to the suitors, however, for Telemachus it was more than that.

But once they move to Welch, we see a more neglectful and destructive parenting style. Both Rex and Rosemary start to ignore the kids, asking them to fend for themselves and each other. This leads to both Lori and Jeannette having to help and almost manage the other two children. But in the long run, this may not have been a bad idea because it strengthened both of their independence. More and more we see this, as the Walls parents put the children in bad situations, they struggle, but eventually fix the situation and learn valuable lessons.

College is one of the most important and life changing times in the life of an American. Leaving high school behind and venturing out to the adult world is an amazing experience that every individual should experience. However, young adults from every corner of the country leave college with crippling debt or do not go to their preferred college of choice. College education should be cheaper as it will help families and students financially and give them the satisfaction with having the opportunity to go to their first choice for college. The tuition and cost of college is detrimental to thousands of families across the country and brings student debt to future graduates.

In the group everyone but one said that they view their step-parent as a addition and not a replacement. One girl in our group felt her stepmom was a better mother figure to her than her own mom. In the case, Tim tells Lonnie that he has no intentions of replacing her father but more so wants to build a better family with her and her mother and sister. In my opinion this line between replacement and addition to the family when dealing with stepparents is very blurry and can sometimes cause a rift in the family dynamic if not handled well or careful. Overall this case study focuses on blended families and how do they development them.

Nearly all of the moves have nothing to do with bettering the well being of the child. Many of the placements are done to carry out the systems policies and other placements are done if foster parents don’t meet the child needs. Children are less likely to be moved many times if a foster family is prepared to meet the child 's challenging needs.

They described how supportive and caring their families were, but they could never truly understand what it was like to live with a stutter. Many of their parents were supportive and helped them gain better control of their child’s stutter.

When the father says “She must feel terrible, pushing you, of all people. It would have to be you, but I know she didn't want it to be” he knows that deep down Rose has good in her even though she causes harm. Rose is a complicated person with a complicated life. She not only has gone through a lot of change, but she has to constantly rely on her family to be there supporting her as if she was a toddler.
