Not in my family. Us women were expected to be the cooks, cleaners, everything. Every family get-together the men would just sit and talk and the boys would go out to play, and the older women would do the cooking, then come make the girls do the dishes.
My sister and I finally called them out on it, and to their credit they did try and make the boys help with the clean-up… although they never did that great of a job, because they’d never been taught how.











That write up on finding the German family that vanished in Death Valley really did a good showcase of how easily that can happen.
‘At that moment they were in a survival situation, although they did not yet realize that fact.’
