Today's class participation was on family and household chores. My interviewee talked about how her parents were somewhat traditional with a little twist. Her mom was the one who did most of the work. Her father was around but did little of the work around the house and little of the childbearing as well. Through her childhood and what she has observed, her mother and grandmother were the ones who did the majority of the work. My interviewee also said she would change this when it is her turn, she would like to have equal work between her and her partner. She also said that marriage is an equal partnership so she expects equal work spitted up between them both. Our interview actually relates to our reading this week, for ch.6 it discuss how the traditional household has a working breadwinner father and a household working mother at home to support the children.
