There are four people in my family including my parents, my older sister and me.We all agree that all members of the family should share the housework, so we divide the household chores equally.My dad is responsible for doing heavy lifting.He also mows the lawn once a week.My mum does most of the cooking and shops for groceries.Being the elder child in the family, My older sister, Lan takes up a large share of housework.She washes clothes, does the washing-up, and waters the houseplants every day. My sister sometimes does the cooking when our mum is busy.My responsibilities include taking out the rubbish and cleaning the fridge once a week.My sister and I take turns laying the table for meals, tidying up the house, and feeding the dog.We know that many hands make light work, and that will also create a positive atmosphere for the family. Therefore, we are willing to work together on household chores.

As many traitional Vietnamese families, mine has four people: me, my little brother and my parents.

My father is the breadwinner. He is a cop, he makes money to support my family. My mother used to be a worker but she has become a housewife after getting married. Everyday, my mom takes me and the younger brother to school then goes to the market, cooks lunch and at 11 A.M she picks me up at my school. In evening, although my father is very busy with his job, sometimes he helps my mom to pick me up after my advanced class. Our brothers are assigned the same chores. Our tasks are feeding fish, walking the dog, cleaning the desk and doing the laundry in the weekend.

Overall, I think that my mom is the one who has the most burdens in my family. So recently, together we usually share the household chores with her. As my dad's favorite quote: happy wife, happy life.

We believe that sharing household chores is better than dividing it equally.
