Parents and Children

In Mexico the families are small. Every family has two or three children. In Mexico women work hard in their house and outside the house men work hard to give their families food in the house and to have plenty of clothes and shoes. Single mothers work inside and outside of their houses. It’s double work for them because they don’t have work, for example, secretary, cashier, hairdresser, housekeeper, pharmacist, sales person, seamstress, and waitress. Later, they come home and prepare the food, clean the house, wash the clothes, wash the dishes and check the children’s homework. There are also mothers who bring their children to work along with them. The work for the women in Mexico is very hard. Children play soccer on the street or in the fields, they chase each other, etc. some fathers come home late and help their children with homework. They help their wives with washing the dishes or other chores. They play with their children. Every family has two, three, or four children every family is formed out of six people include father and mother. Life in Mexico is very different. My family is big. I have two uncles who are the brothers of my father. I have one uncle who is brother of my mother. I have fourteen boy cousins and fifteen girls’ cousins. Live in Mexico is very different because there are more traditions. Every state and county has different traditions. People are very happy with their traditions.
