Erin Cavazos -Weekly Participation
This week I asked my interviewee :"Women often put their careers on hold for their families. How did your parents organize their work lives and what were the consequences for each person?" My interviewee explained that his parents switched off working throughout his life. At first his dad worked while his mom stayed home, then his dad stayed home while his mom worked. This trend continued on and off throughout his life. His parents never really focused on a career so they were able to take turns working. The one thing his mom never did was complete college but that was not be cause of motherhood, it was a mutual decision made by his parents. He said that he did like the way he was raised because he got to spend a lot of time with both of his parents. I asked him if he was closer to his mom or dad and he said that he was equally close to both of them. He explained that he feels lucky that he got to spend so much time with both of his parents.
