Family Life

Question A
when do children usually leave home?

I think it is depends on situation on these family. I guess most 18 years old people usually leave home in Japan. Because some of them are going to enter their University after graduation from high school.
In Hiroshima, they want to leave their family and try to live at city, particularly Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka.


Question B
How many people live in your home?

There are six people in my family.


Question C
Do you have a head of the family?


Yes, we have. It's my mother. My mother always expresses an exact opinion. And she works like a man in society and also earns money. Moreover she lives as one women, I mean, She always cares about her appearance, and also takes in fashion little by little.
I am yearning for such mom very much, and respect her.
So we obey our mother.

Question D
Who does the housework?


Nowadays both of man and woman should do the housework. Because woman work as one of power of the society. So it is impossible only woman do the housework on their family. Both of them should help each other and live them life. Also if they do housework, they could realize how the housework is hard. Therefor they can compassion for each other.
Also sort of men has appeared who does it as housekeeper. It's one of phenomenon in today's society. the other day the word that 主夫　created a sensation.
In my case, my brother do housework. His tasks are washing bathroom and cleaning the living room. When he complained, like "why should I do this?! I'm tired. I wanna play TV games." we(my mom and i) ask him.
"imagine, we always do washing clothes, washing dishes, cooking meals, cleaning toilet and 洗面台 and garbage disposal, so on. We work(go to school) every day too. Can you do same as us??"
He understood how the housework is hard, so he don't say nothing nowadays.
So It is very important that do housework all member of family in my house.



Question E
Who runs the family?


I think that there is necessity that father run the family. Because if they(I mean couples) have children, mother must bring their children up. In my opinion, children should get love from their mother more than father. I know my philosophy is old and baseless.

Question F

Now we have each bedrooms. But when I was elementary school student and junior high school student, I had slept with my mother. Also my brother too.
