While I thought that the grandparents’ ways of raising their children would be passed down and practiced by their children on their grandchildren, it turns out that the children often did the opposite of their parents in raising their own kids. While I liked that we were all different in our stories and lives, I wish I had time to interview a greater number of people with a higher diversity. I also wish I could have interviewed the parents, the grandparents,, and maybe even a few of their siblings.

I admit I had a few expectations on what the results of my
interviews would be. I thought that the majority of the people I interviewed
would have gone through personal and relationship altering teenage rebellion
such as mine. But the two other people I interviewed seemed to have very minor
changes or no changes at all during their teenage years.

I think your case studies went very well. It's good to learn that what you were expecting wasn't the reality compared to others' relationships with their parents. It shows that you learned something new. Not everyone will go through a rebellion stage because we all have different cultural backgrounds. Some people were raised more strictly by their parents or some feared their parents. I agree that it would've great to have more case studies because your topic was very interesting. Overall, I enjoyed your blogs and I hope you also enjoyed writing them.
ReplyDeleteAlthough you didn't have time to interview a greater number and diversity of people, I think it's really interesting how even with the fairly limited diversity you could get there was still such different experiences between those interviewed. Was there anything that you did expect the interview to go a certain way and you were correct in those expectations? Overall a very interesting interview with interesting results
ReplyDeleteI think it's interesting that you discovered people raised the opposite of what their own parents did. I think that makes sense. I know I was raised nothing like the way my parents were. Maybe becasue they thought their parents did such a bad job. My parents really wanted me and my siblings to discover things for ourselves, they trusted us to make good choices(I don't know why they thought that would be a good idea but we all turned out ok). The only thing they ever really pushed on us was to get a job.
