The question asked in class was whether we agreed or disagreed with how our parents raised us, and what we would do differently if we had our own children. My interviewee said she would probably have a bit more of a hand in raising her own children than her parents had with her and her siblings, since she felt they didn't really enforce as much as they should have. She said that they got involved more as her and her siblings got older, but for the most part they had quite a bit of freedom as children.
The current events article I was reading was one from Washington Post comparing division of housework and sexual relations between married couples. Its findings correspond well with our chapter this week, saying that those couples that share equally in the housework engage in sexual relations more often than those who don't. Couples where the man does most of the housework has the least sexual frequency and satisfaction, and that, in general, couples that have one partner doing most of the work lean more toward unhappiness and divorce. The article concluded with the statement that, despite the increase in relationship satisfaction it brings, the couples that engage in more equal amounts of housework are still in the minority.http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/local/wp/2014/08/14/couples-who-share-housework-have-the-most-sex-and-best-sex-lives/
