Egg Baby Journal #1 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? 2. What options would you say to help that person through this situation? 3. Do you tell another friend and would it start a chain of gossip? 4. Would you stand by that person in whatever they decided to do?

If one of my friends told me that they were pregnant or got sombody pregnant I would tell them they were crazy. I would also ask them if they knew how to take care of a baby. then I would tell them to tell there parents. But if that that happened I wouldn't tell anybody I would let them tell people. I would probably be mad but I wouldn't demand to put it up for adoption or have an abortion because it is their choice.

Egg Baby Journal #2 Now that you are a parent of an egg baby, everyone in your family wants to see your new baby/babies. 1. What would it be like in your family for one day as you visit your relatives? a. Entry must be at least 1 paragraph long (at least 5 sentences).

If I had a baby and I took it home I think my family will be mad at me. But they would treat the baby well. But I would be mad at my child if they had a baby before marriage to. Just like my parents. Thats what I think.

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? 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.

If my baby were to get sick my parents would stay home. One reason is that I have to go to school. The second reason is my parents can take him/her to the doctor if needed. Another reason is that my parents can still work at home. I cant have school at home.

Egg Baby Journal #3 You get up to take your child/children to Six Flags Over Georgia. 1. What friends or relatives are going with you? 2. How does the baby affect your having fun on the rides? 3. How will this change your selection of rides?

If I get up and take mt children to Six Flags I would bring my parents and brothers with me. The baby would probably effect how much fun I had because I would be keeping him/her safe. So like usually iI would put my hands in the air. With a baby I would hold the baby down. The baby would effect the rides I ride. I would not pick intense rides.

Egg Baby journal #4 1. Should a mother give up her job to stay at home to raise her children? 2. Do you think that a mother is a better “stay-at-home” parent than a father? 3. Should mothers always get custody of the children after a divorce or separation? Why or why not?

No, a mother shouldn't give up her job to stay home she should just find a job that works out. I think that a mother is a better stay at home parent than a father. A father should work. No, I think that the parents should both get time with the child. I think this because it is not just one parents child its both of theirs.

Egg Baby Journal #5 1. Now that being a parent of an egg is over, do you think that you were a good parent during this project? 2. What were the most troublesome times during the carrying/caring for the egg? 3. IF this was an actual baby, would you be ready for the responsibility? Why or why not?

I was an ok parent. I didn't have much experience.The most troubling time was going to my locker. I would not be ready for a child. I can't even drive.

Egg Baby Journal #6 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?

If I heard there was physical abuse towards children around I would keep my child close. I would tell all my neighbors. I also would tell my wife. Also my family. But first I would tell the cops.
