Interviewee: Being a mother and a wife and at the same time being a woman with a job is not little to handle. It calls for remaining organized in all I do. As a wife, I ensure to support my husband in all he does and help him make decisions for the family. I also help in providing for the family. I pay half the bills and mostly sort out the usual things such as groceries. When it comes to parenting, I support the children and ensure they are comfortable with everything in both schools and home. I am always first. to prepare all of them for work and school, I get ready myself. I think love is the key to ensuring the kids are free to speak and share thoughts and experiences. Marie comes to me a lot to talk about, and it is enjoyable.

Interviewer: Describe the differences in roles between you and your husband

Interviewee: The roles of a husband and wife can never be similar. None of us can replace the other. We both provide, but parenting roles are different. The Father's part is to shape the kids, protect them, care, and provide direction. On the other hand, I give love to the children to ensure they feel comfortable in both school and home. I also ensure they are healthy and active in other areas of life.

Interviewer: Over the years, do you see a difference in the parents' roles about gender, and how are these differences?

Interviewee: I have not been married many years, but I agree there are changes over the years in the roles of the man and woman in the family. Before, providence and decision-making were for the man to handle. The mother played a less significant role in the family issues and choices. however, today, mother and father share at almost a half-and-half ratio.

Interviewer: As we conclude, describe whom the kids turn to and for what reasons.

Interviewee: The kids are very free with both of us, but Bill turns to his Father most times while Marie turns to me more often than not.
