Margaret Klassen
The assigned reading were about the gendered family, and how family can shape our gender. The interview was about the division of house work among the persons parents, and if they were going to follow their parents way of doing things in their own family life. My interviewee said that her parents were divorced, so that at both of her houses both her parents did the house work, and that there was a significant division of labor based on gender. She did say however that as a child since her mother did everything in the home, that she herself did not learn how to do anything like cook, clean, etc. She as an adult now prefers to do the yard work, because she says she does not know how to do house work.
