This week's interview topic was about family life when we were growing up. My interviewee said she is a single child but grew up in a household with both her mother and father. They separated later in her life, about three years ago. Both her mother and father worked. She described how her father drove both her and her mother to school and work, how her father picked her up from school and dropped her off at her grandmother's house, and how he went back to work after. In the eveningtime, her mother would cook and her father would clean up after dinner. He only cooked when her mother was not able to cook. She felt that between her mom and dad, there was a roughly equal share of work. When asked if she would repeat with her children how her mother and father raised her, she said no. She would find child care, but also spend enough time with her children. There would have to be a balance between both.
