This is an interesting article that emphasizes how having a "packed schedule" is unhealthy for the whole family like in Coleman's Chapter 1. The article tells parents to take a step back and evaluate why they are creating such a hectic schedule for themselves and their child(ren), and is it worth it? The article also explains that you need to be satisfied with what you have created for your child and yourself because you only would know what's best for your child, not a an interent self-help site. And if you feel unsatisfied with your own life it will affect your child(ren) because it will show and the child(ren) will be able to pick up those signals, sort of like Chloe in Coleman's Chapter 1.

This site is a general self-help guide for parents to turn to in regarding the rearing of their children. Within this site there is a specific article titled, "Effective Parenting Principles" and it talks about why some parents are more successful than other parents when raising their children. Basically it says that the best type of parenting is with the authoritative model like in Coleman's Chapter 1. It hints that using an authoritarian or permissive parenting style is not the right way, and shows that you do not understand or know your own child.

This is an interesting article from the University of Illinois' Aces News website about a study on "gatekeeping." The results of this study goes hand-in-hand with what Coleman talks about women trying to monopolize their husband's efforts. Due to the results, a conclusion has been drawn that it is the wife's responsibility to change her beliefs about fatherhood so that it does not hinder the husband's ego and in doing so he will no longer be the "lazy husband."

This is a site dedicated to the importance of breastfeeding for nutritional, psychological, and social needs for both baby and parents. This breif FAQ page explains how a father can contribute with the role of breastfeeding. A lot of it has to do with playing with the baby after, and helping the mother out while she breastfeeds to make things easier. It also stresses on encouragement from the father during the first few weeks of breastfeeding because it can be stressful and discouraging to the mother if things do not go smoothly.

This seems to be a site that posts articles about a featured relationship-help booksthat and is acompanied wtih an excerpt from the book. This link hosts information about a book titled, "Dads and Daughters: How to Inspire, Understand, and Support Your Daughter When She's Growing Up So Fast," written by Joe Kelly. The book seems to be interesting because it reminds Dads, that males and females are different biologically and mentally which means their behaviors growing up may seem foreign. Although this could occur, Joe Kelly's book stresses that it is still important to be involved with their daughter's life. It follows with a strong emphasis that Dads do make a difference in the life of his daughter, which is one of the points that Dr. Laura gets across. It also backs Dr. Laura's words of how a life with or without a father will determine how she relates to males when she is grown up.

This seems to be a self-help site for upcoming, or newly parents, or even wedded couples. It explains that differences and disagreements are okay because the differences is part of the reason a person is attracted to another. It also says its okay to disagree because it's a way to learn about the other. When you read further, this article talks about when disagreements go "bad," meaning an argument continues to occur or is continuously "hostile." The solution to this issue would be to "agree to disagree" or agree to set it aside for another day, which is a major symptom of the Equity model. However, the one thing I found interesting is that in the beginning of this article, it says that it is important to understand the basis behind why your significant other feels the way they do about that particular issue. That way you can help to understand and give support, Which seems like a Unity characteristic.

Since miscommunication may be one of the underlying causes of marital conflicts, I found this article as a good source of addressing the issue. Not only does this article contain distinct differences between an unhealthy relationship vs. a healthy relationship, it also addresses the involvement of children which is often ignored in marital conflict issues. The article is somewhat short, but it does give a one or two coping strategies that may be helpful in the event of a disagreement that may escalate. In addition, there are relevant links on the website that may be worth reading. However, some of the selected links provide authors that support the dominance model.

This article discussed the developmental stages or sequence in which mothers feel obligated to be with their children at young age to do the child’s growth and importance of its’ upbringing. A child’s most significant during the first two years of their life.

An inspiring article in the New York Times said that a young mother taught at the age of 25 with 3 daughters who were 3, 5, and 7 with the struggles of being a successful mother in the work force she was able to nurture her children into becoming career oriented women.

This internet article describes the feelings of mothers who become parents who are overwhelmed with the lifestyle which has been acquired through childbirth.

This is a really fun and interesting site and is simply designed in order to understand the concept of marriage and the development task at hand. It shows you different perspectives regarding parental issues and upbringing of children.

- G25, Gora - Outline 4

The last article I used was from a parenting site. The site had an array of categories pertaining to parenting and help needed in becoming a parent. The one item that was not on that list was help for fathers and what may assist them in becoming better parents.

- G25, Gora - Outline 7

I found this article to be very true.  I do think that teaching kids not to interrupt adult conversations is very important.  My cousin has a younger daughter and she constantly comes up to her and demands attention even when her mother is engaged in a conversation.  I feel that if you teach a kid not to interrupt adult conversations they can apply that knowledge to all conversations.

I don’t know if you are going to like this article that I found but I did.  It kind of shows men that it’s not a easy job by any means.  Stay at home mom’s should saluted because they really do have it hard, from changing diapers to cleaning the house all the way to having dinner on the table when her husband comes home. One thing that really caught my eye was the 189,000 stay at home dads compared to the 11 million stay at home mom’s. I thought there would be a lot more stay at home dad’s then that.

- G25, Malala - Outline 2

This website is actually career oriented, yet is describes the typical life of a stay at home mom. The description points out how difficult this unpaid “labor of love”, using examples such as moms never having sick days and providing information about the salaries these moms would make provided they were being paid for the roles they carried (teacher, child care worker, cook, etc.)

I chose this article to show you that there are a lot of people out there trying to get rid of this out dated dominance model.  I think it’s great for what this organization is doing, everyone could use a few pointers on parenting.  Some of these classes also teach how to be a better husband. 

- G25, Malala - Outline 2

In this article, they explain that men still underestimate the importance of male parenting within the family. In the 1800, most manuals and books were directed at man but as industrialization advances, men were removed from their homes causing them to be less involved. Society has come to accept the fact that men are the bread winners and therefore shouldn’t have to participate in child-rearing, but the article suggests that it is imperative that the husbands take on the male parenting role. I know that males must be involved for both the wife and the children’s sake.

This article talks about even though divorces are declining in the United States; the number of couples breaking up is rising. Couples need to have a strong sense of commitment even if they aren’t married in order to successfully raise a child. Couples don’t think but in the long run, it is their kids that suffer if the couple is to split. This article’s main point is to talk about how living together before a couple is married, the marriage won’t last and there will be an overwhelming sense of instability

- G25, Ide - Outline 7

This article talks about the amount of involvement fathers have in their children’s lives. It also talks about the influence fathers have on cognitive ability, social behavior, and even touches a little bit on how the mother-father relationship stimulates kids and their development.

- G25, Ide - Outline 6

I found an article talking about how women love their children, but fathers raise them. The article is written by a man who has old fashioned views on how children are and should be raised. He talks about how fathers are more inclined to praising their children now because they didn’t have enough when they were growing up. It talks about how he’s more worried about raising his daughter than he is his son and that he hopes he’s not too hard or soft on either one.

- G25, Ide - Outline 6

This article talks about how kids are affected when they get older after they have lived with an angry father. A study conducted among young teens concluded that their father’s anger prevented their kids to open up and confide in them. The article also includes a checklist of steps to follow when fathers lose their patience and start to become angry.

- G25, Ide - Outline 4

This article talks about how kids aren’t going to be perfectly clean and spotless, because they are kids. Mom’s should take it easy on their kids and let them do things their own way instead of wanting them to do everything tip-top shape. The article also tells mom’s to lighten up on themselves, just because their kids make a mess in the kitchen, doesn’t mean they have a bad mother.

- G25, Ide - Outline 4

This article talks about how working mothers do just as good of a job raising their children as do moms that stay at home with their kids. It also talks about the increased self esteem mothers have and that can counter act any ill effects being away from their children might cause

- G25, Ide - Outline 2

I found this article interesting because someone has actually formed a checklist for parents to look at when picking the right extra curricular activities for their children. It’s supposed to settle parent’s agitated nerves. It includes things such as sit down with your child and go over a list of activities and have the child prioritize them according to likes and dislikes.

- G25, Ide - Outline 2

this is a study I found that studied men who did more household chores around the house and their wives found them more sexually appealing. It also talks about men who help around the house spend more quality time with their children and in turn have stronger relationships with their kids. When children see their fathers doing chores, it gives the children a sense of cooperation and team work.

- G25, Ide - Outline 2

We first learn respect in our homes. As far as children, how can we expect them to respect each other and other people if they are raised in a home where both parents disrespect each other? It starts in the home, if mother respects father and father respects mother then the child will be raised in that light. This article talks about respect out in society and that it starts in the home.

- G25, Matsui - Outline 9

I choose this web site because I found it very interesting and relates well to this topic. The site talks about being able to predict a children's later personalities in life from their behaviors in their childhood. They used a before and after perspective, and used a personality model when they were young and tracked them down decades later. The findings were hopeful that researchers would one day predict habits such as overeating and smoking. This site supports Coleman's idea and I agree with it.

- G25, Matsui - Outline 4

This is another site that supports Coleman, this focuses on obesity, an all too common problem in the United States. It relates a child's aggressive demands, family patterns, avoidance of physical activity and other factors to contribute to obesity. The research that was conducted supports my agreement with Coleman about childhood affecting adulthood.

- G25, Matsui - Outline 4

This website gives ten different ways that men can be better fathers and role models to their children. Some of the examples include passionately loving your wife, being a man of integrity, spending time with them, and making them know their self worth. Many men these days are failing when it comes to being a healthy role model for their children, but his website is encouraging because it gives examples of ways to be there for your children and also for your wife. I think the most important thing this man says is that men need to practice what they preach. If children hear you say one thing and then see you do another thing, then they will not listen to you.

- G25, Murray - Outline 7

This website talks about how to get dads to be more involved in parenting. Some of the things that they suggest is to recognize how Dad’s have evolved from prior generations to today, with dads pushing strollers and carrying diaper bags in the parks. Also to get dad to be involved from early on, and to let him make mistakes in parenting and not take him off baby duty as soon as he makes a mistake. I thought that this website was interesting and had some of the same views as Dr. Joshua Coleman in the Lazy Husband.

- G25, Imose - Outline 5

This article talks about how to get your husband to do more around the house and it argues that if he has lower standards then you do, you should lower yours. This way of thinking is similar to Dr. Coleman’s advice of telling women to lower their standards in housework and parenting. This is wrong according to the Unity Model, where the man has to learn to do things according to the women’s standards.

- G25, Imose - Outline 5

This article gives two perspectives; one that is from a mother whose child is still in diaper and another whose youngest child is just about to graduate. It gave a good description on how life is after the baby arrives, mentioning that it is easy to neglect each other and show make time for time with your spouse. The other article gave a good perspective of the end of parenting when empty nest syndrome is near and how she is looking forward to it and grandchildren.

- G25, Imose - Outline 2

These articles give support to the idea that women are more invested in the care of their children than men. The first site gives various reasons for the occurrence of parental investment. The first site also provides evidence that pregnancy automatically requires more parental investment from females, even after birth, during lactation. I chose these articles because they directly relate to Joshua Coleman’s theory of why women are more invested in child rearing causing them to have a higher tendency to care about their child’s discomfort, therefore giving their husbands more bargaining power.

This website summarizes an article entitled, “How do parents matter? Let us count the ways.” This article explains the different emotional and psychological effects that parenting styles and parent-child interactions can eventually shape the person the child will become. This site is important because it depicts different ways a parent can influence a child that were not covered in The Lazy Husband.

This link is an article by foxnew.com about husbands and fathers in society. It also states many quotes from authors who have written books to men and about lazy husbands. Another thing is this article brings in the childhood experiences and different examples in the media about men.

- G24, Wong - Outline 9

This link is interesting in how it tells parents how they should make time for each person. The most important person to set time for is the spouse. This also brings the kids into the picture in helping the marriage be happier. For example, letting the kids know that there’s “mommy and daddy,” and they can’t disturb them. In addition to these time, they also have “family day,” so that everyone in the family is happy.

- G24, Wong - Outline 9

This link explains critical parents and why they act the way they do. It also gives some consequences towards the kids. Solutions are also provided in this website.

This website is one that I highly recommend to every father.  Although every father out there doesn’t think that they need advise or help, I guarantee that this site will help them in some way.  This site includes tips, programs, training, and a press room.  They stress that every child needs a father they can count on.  Children thrive when they have an involved father; someone who loves them, knows them, guides them and helps them achieve their destiny.

- G24, Saito - Outline 6

This CNN website is about a study that was done at the University of Maryland and it determined that children who have fathers in their lives learn better, have higher self-esteem and show fewer signs of depression than children without fathers.  The study did not address whether a bad father is better that no father at al.  And the findings don’t necessarily mean that children who grow up in single-parent homes can’t be successful.  This website goes to show that there is a significant difference in children that don’t have fathers or father figures in their lives.  Men should think about this before they decide to have children or not.  Maybe a test should be first if they can be a involved husband or not.

- G24, Saito - Outline 6

This is a link to the website for Christianity Today.com which is basically an online Christian magazine.  There is an article in the website written by David and Claudia Arp entitled, Partners or Parents? How to make sure the rigors of child-rearing pull you together rather than push you apart which I thought fell directly in line with this portion of Dr. Coleman’s book where he discusses the effects of having children has on the marriage.  I think this is a great read for anyone who is married and is thinking of having or already have children and enhances and affirms the beliefs of Dr. Coleman.

- G24, Lagondino - Outline 4

This link takes you to an article, “Becoming a More Affective Father” written by Israel Helfand, M.S., Ph.D.  The article initially talks about the fear that some fathers have with respect to becoming a father.  It also discusses what to expect, how you might feel, and the importance of spending time with your children.  There is a very key point that is also made, “It is important for us to address our issues with our own fathers and come to terms with the struggles of our own childhoods. Our training to be a father begins as a child being fathered by our own fathers, or surrogate fathers.”  I think this sums up the chapter in Joshua Coleman’s book entitled, Childhood Revisited.

- G24, Lagondino - Outline 5

This website examines the well being of children growing up in a single-family household and possible ways to stop the cycle of divorce and pregnancy out of wedlock. This site is relevant to this topic of childhood effects on marriage because it showcases the decreasing value that is put on marriage in today’s society. If the younger generations of children are exposed to this now, what type of husbands, wives, or parents will they make in the future?

- G24, Buchner - Outline 3

I like this site because it is new and done by BYU, so it is college students and professors alike doing research on couples who are becoming parents and still trying to uphold their marriage together. It was very interesting reading through the few sections that they already have up.

- G25, Georgeo - Outline 3

I chose this site, after looking at about 15 of them, because it gives advice on how to raise children, and it does not have to be perfect. It also has various other links that discuss other topics. I really liked this one because it explained where “perfectionism” comes from and what to do about it.

- G25, Georgeo - Outline 4

I chose this one because it has various issues of how to manage family and the marriage as two separate units and then as a whole. It has sections on the emotional needs of a partner and what needs to be done and how to achieve that subject, whatever it may be. It has basic concepts of how to have a successful marriage and how to keep it that way, when family, work, and everyday life come into play.

- G25, Georgeo - Outline 5
