I see how my father was the one who worked hard and how my mother supported us all emotionally. They also see how I'm the only one who was taught how to work on cars and take care of the lawn, but my sister insists that I was taught to pay more attention to my appearance because I used to enter pageants when I was younger. My brother says he likes video games and computer programming. My sister says her appearance is important to her. She wants to seem like a person who people can easily get along with and likes the way she looks when she does her hair and makeup. My mother says she was raised to do housework because that's what women do. Normally the women in her side of the family stayed home and took care of the house, until her mother found a job at Walmart to help pay the bills for the four children she was raising with her military husband. From my home you can learn a lot about gender roles and how we break the norm. I was taught that getting your hands dirty isn't just for men, and that women need to know the basics of how to maintain a car. My sister was taught to be a good woman, and my brother decided to be himself and not worry about appearance or outside work. Our mother still provides the emotional support and my father provides the financial support
