Although these roles are still in place today in some families, according to Wilmott and Young’s theory, families were becoming lot more symmetrical. A symmetrical family is a family that share male and female roles. For example a woman will go to work just like the man will a man will take care of the kids and so will the woman. Wilmott and Young studied the symmetrical family in 1974, the study carried out was to see if the traditional roles of the household had changed for example was it only the mother’s job to look after the children and tend to the house whilst the father went out to work.

Like other families, my parent looked after their children, and me as a big brother would carry the responsibility to look after my siblings too. My father is a very wise man, his words always inspire one to think and think again, before deciding on anything.
