Week 2 Response to Professor M.

I find myself adhering to a traditional gender role as a female. It may be because of the way I was raised. Now my parents are divorced, however growing up my mother cooked, cleaned and took care of the kids while my father basically worked and came home. He expected to be catered to even though he never publicly stated this. Being a police officer, I knew he had a stressful job but I always found it odd that he would come home from work and expect dinner on the table. I wonder what it would have been like if my mother forgot or decided to wait until later to provide this.
Another observation, was that my traditional parents followed roles that of their own parents. Both sets of my parents acted the same way. The female took care of the home and kids and the male worked.
Being in my mid 20's and unmarried, I still think this would work for me. If in a relationship, I notice that I enjoy these roles a lot. I work full-time and am an excellent business person but yet I often find myself in the traditional woman's role at home.
