have everything and you can do anything you want because you’re the only princess in the house. But in my case‚ I hate the idea of growing up as the only girl because there are too many expectations that I need to fulfil. That’s the worst thing about being the only girl. Putting make-ups‚ dressing up‚ and playing dolls are not really my thing. I love sports‚ hanging out with my friends‚ action movies‚ and video games. My brothers are my best buds in doing these things. They don’t treat me as a weak and

Being Girl: A Sociological Memoir My first memory of kindergarten was this: dozens of tiny‚ petrified 5-year-olds being dropped off at their first day of school‚ and dozens of exhausted‚ overworked mothers consoling their weeping sons and daughters.

"What’s it like being a twin?" This is a question I’ve been asked countless times; I don’t blame people for their curiosity. It is an incomparable experience. Few people have the opportunity to experience such a close bond with another individual. From the day of conception‚ we’ve literally been side by side or metaphorically‚ attached at the hip.

Mothers are probably the best multitaskers there are. Since giving birth mothers have always been there to nurture‚ teach‚ discipline‚ and even our personal cheerleaders. As if this all is not enough‚ imagine being a mother with no other support. Single mothers have to be both parental figures for their children. However‚ single moms are breaking the stereotype of being on welfare‚ taking advantage of child support money‚ screwing up their kids‚ being deadbeat‚ weak‚ and unable to support their kids

She would read all types of books from fairy tales to nursery rhymes‚ fiction and non-fiction‚ I loved them all.

It is a common belief that mothers‚ who stay at home‚ are able to bring up their children better than those who are working‚ rightly so because they are able to devote the whole day to their children.
