Gender

In my family being a guy means that you're expected to have to do all the work for the women. My role in the family is it take the trash out, wash the dishes, vacuum sometimes, keep my room clean, take care of my sister, bring the laundry down stairs, wash it sometimes, when needed i will help my dad with all the labor work, and feed the cats.


My Dad's expectations are to work and bring money home, cut the lawn, do the bills, and all the labor work outside. He also cooks for the family almost every night. Without him my family would have to step up everything.

My mom washes the clothes helps with the cooking sometimes, vacuums sometimes, helps my sister with her homework, and works to bring money home.

My sister does nothing in my family except for doing her homework cleaning up her mess.

I hate this about my family. All the guys have to do everything when the women just sit there and do their very little bit of work. I want less work in my life and more work for the women.
















How do gender roles impact your life? In other words, what is expected of you as either a male or female? What would you like to see changed?
