gender

            In my family there's no such thing as gender roles, so there's really no tradition on who does what in my household. I grew up without a mom which now and days its the normality to have one parent. I do believe that who you grow up with can affect your gender role and your identity. My father raised me, which i think played a major role in who i am today. So how would gender shape my identity? My dad taught me everything, so saw a lot of things threw his mind. He had to be both the dad and the mom. growing up with only my dad really shaped the way i think, because i learned how to think from both sides of  gender. In my family my dad would BBQ and sometimes i would do it or my sister, everything shifts. I feel like my dad wanted to make an environment where gender didn't matter in what you did or what you wanted to do.

My family..age 7 :P

          When i was growing up, i would say that i had chores any other kid would have: cleaning my room, the living room, kitchen and so on. They would alternate  between my brother and sister, so we all would eventually do what the other did. There are chores that mainly women do and chores mainly men do. For women it can be laundry, cooking, cleaning the inside of the house. for men it can be cleaning the gutters, mowing lawn, fixing house hold appliances.  So in my family i think that the chores we all did where gender contemporary. My dad taught us how to do everything, so for instance i know how to fix electronics and i know how to cook and do laundry...(which i think everyone should know how to do :p ) I'm really happy for the way my family and i grew up.
