Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward for children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or
17、 unwillingly.Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this re-socialization process. Although numerous books have been written abou
18、t American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.It is argued by some writers that the transition to the fathers role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mothers role.

25、different ideas about what is good to eat. Even when people in different countries eat the same food, they often prepare it very differently.
