  • Essay / Expectations from my family - 1127

    At home, my sister and I had responsibilities. We did all the chores. It was something my father imposed. My mother would have liked everyone to have chores, but my father was the man of the house and he basically made all the rules, my mother wasn't really included. Growing up like this made me realize that I would always have different standards than my brothers. My brothers had to go out with friends and come home late at night while my older sister could never do that. Even spending time with friends during the day was impossible. My brothers were allowed to have girlfriends, but my parents didn't even allow my older sister to have male friends. I was young at the time, so it didn't really affect me, but it did affect my sisters' social relationships.
