female/male role

From last weeks class we touched on different roles that men and women play. Such as the man, who brings home the bacon and the women who keeps the household together. And this is how I was also brought up. When I was starting to date, my parents always told me, find someone who's going to be able to support financially. Well they must have jinxed me..lol.. I eventually had a boyfriend who i became more serious with And a year later we had a Beautiful daughter. Although our relationship has been a little rocky ever since the start because of the fact that he didn't have a high school diploma and I've been the one who for the most part has kept us financially stable, We've been able to always work it out. He's actually been the one that's been at home with my daughter the past three years and although I would love to be At home more I know that my priorities right now are to finish school and to get a career so that when I'm done he's able to go and finish up his high school and get a more stable job. My parents and in general my family have always given me a hard time about it because they're so traditional but in all reality if it works for us I feel that there's not really a problem. We both understand that I need to finish my career and it's easier for him to be at home and work a small part time job and help with my daughter as well keeping the household together. Even explaining it other people they give me a really odd look but again I really don't care because it's the way I decide to live And not the way I am told to live.
