Egg Baby Journal/Day 1 Tuesday, January 17, 2012 You meet up with your best friend after school and they tell you that they have become pregnant (if it is a girl) or that they have gotten someone pregnant (if it is a boy). 1. What is the first thing that you think you might say to your friend? What are you going to do? 2. What options would you say to help that person through this situation? Do not get an abortion. 3. Do you tell another friend and would it start a chain of gossip? No I would not tell another friend. 4. Would you stand by that person in whatever they decided to do? Yes I would stick by her side. Egg Baby Journal/Day 2 Wednesday, January 18, 2012 1. What would it be like in your family for one day as you visit your relatives? They would be acceptable. Your baby is sick. You have to decide if you or your guardian will stay home and which will go to work or school. 1. Who would win the battle of staying home and watching the baby? My mom would since she works at home. 2. If you are the one staying home, how would you get to the doctor’s office while your parents are working? Assuming you can’t drive because you do not have a license and you aren’t of legal age to operate a car or other vehicle. I am not staying at home since my mom works. Egg Baby Journal/Day 3 Thursday, January 19, 2012 You get up to take your child/children to Six Flags Over Georgia. 1. What friends or relatives are going with you? My closest friends and family. 2. How does the baby affect your having fun on the rides? We can not ride ant roller coasters. 3. How will this change your selection of rides? Only little kid rides no roller coasters. Egg Baby Journal/Day 4 Friday, January 20, 2012 1. Should a mother give up her job to stay at home to raise her children? The mom should not give up her job to stay at home to raise her daughters child. 2. Do you think that a mother is a better “stay-at-home” parent than a father? I think a mother is better to stay at home with the child then a father. 3. Should mothers always get custody of the children after a divorce or separation? Why or why not? If the mom does drugs I would much rather have the father get them. Egg Baby Journal/Day 5 Monday, January 23, 2012 1. Now that being a parent of an egg is over, do you think that you were a good parent during this project? I do think I was a good parent because I did not break it. 2. What were the most troublesome times during the carrying/caring for the egg? The hardest part for careing for my egg was making sure I did not drop it. 3. IF this was an actual baby, would you be ready for the responsibility? Why or why not? No I would not be ready for the responsibility of taking care of a child because I do not even have a job to pay for it. Egg Baby Journal/ Day 6 Tuesday, January 24, 2012 1. As you live in Northern Jefferson County, you may have come across physical abuse towards children. What could you do and who could you talk to if you had a feeling that abuse was happening to someone in your community? I would go and tell my mom about it or a teacher.
