Family Dynamics in Mexican Immigrants

Once the husbands immigrant to America, they leave the family behind, and the family dynamics change. Some mothers have to work full time which they earn less money and have to ask their relatives to take care of their children. Mothers have to take over the father's role by punishing and correcting their children more. Due to the changes in the family dynamics there is more stress in the marriage relationship and divorce can happen. One of the reasons why Mexican families move to America is to provide a better education for their children. The children who come to America that used to have an open communication with their family have to deal with being the middle person in translating. Parents should learn a second language to receive better jobs and not put their burden on the children to be the middle man translator.

Reflection on "Demographic Winter" Video

After watching the "Demographic Winter" Video, I want to show people what its like having children and how they make the world a happier and better place. Its okay for future parents to worry about the hardships, a lot of responsibility, and expenses that come with having children. Don't let these things stop you from having children. Future wives should counsel their husbands to not get distracted from playing video games in marriage and family. Married families are good for the economy. Parents can teach their children about managing money for their future families. Parents can teach them to save money for their goals like buying toys.
