...first, everything here is going around in circles--kinda dizzy and not very well. But life goes on. I can offer this up for the people who are sick and have no one to look after them or cannot afford health services close to them.

On the third and a very interesting question: "How the household is maintained and who manages chores?" I will dwell more on the 'chore' part. I love chores at home...and as often as I can I'd want to be a part of the activity in the home that gets the food ready or dishes done.

I think it is a very interesting thing for a man in a home to be able to help the wife with little side activities/chores....in the kitchen, laundry or the garden. Any normal woman would be delighted to have her man work alongside her.
But in many patriachal socities....men find it demeaning to do give the littlest help in the kitchen. Hmmm....talk about men complaining at the dinner table!! Thank God I've got some kitchen skills over the years by carefully watching mom cook every other day.

So the chores belong not only to the maidservant in the home and the housewife....but also you dear brothers---who love to read every letter in the daily while you wait for dinner.
