What are the different roles men and women play in carrying out housework? What do men usually do? And women? How have things changed or remained the same during the past thirty years or so in your country? Are children assigned chores to do around the house? Do everyday people hire housekeepers to do such housework?

 

Man and women play different roles in carrying out housework.Man is a stronger person at home.he done heavy work like to repair something ,to clean lawn or raking ,moving heavy stuff and earn money. however woman cleans house ,cooks food ,washes clothes and take care of her child and husband. But during the past thirty years the things are change, now man and woman work togather  for earning and for carrying out housework. Those jobs which woman did in the past at home now man do it for her help. Children are also a part of house they can help their parents in different tasks at home for example they can clean their bed room, bring something from the market ,rake the lawn and many other thing they can do. whole family should work togather because everybody cannot hire housekeepers everyday. It is not very expensive but also a very hard .Nobody can trust to anyone.
