Hello, this year I am twelve years old. I live with my family in a small lovely house on the outskirts of the city. Every day, my mother wakes me up at five thirty. The atmosphere is fresh then. At this time, some other families also wake up, they go to the market, do exercises, prepare the energy for a new day. I always water vegetables and feed chickens in the garden with my father. Then I back to my room, do personal hygiene and get dress, prepare books to go to school. When I get downstairs, my mother is busy with preparing breakfast for the whole family in the kitchen. After eating, my father takes me to school by motorbike because my school is quite far away from my house. At school, I have many friends, they are all very cute and docile. At the breaks, we often play some folk games such as horse jumping, blindfolded goats, box office, ... In addition, I also participate in some clubs such as book, piano and english club. After school, I and some of my friends often clean the class and study in the group. At night, I help my mother with cooking and then family members gather in the living room to watch the favorite TV channels, share the story of the day. Before going to bed, my father always brings me a glass of milk and check my study. Every day is a great and invaluable gift, the work even seems small but brings me joy and happiness.

As many traitional Vietnamese families, mine has four people: me, my little brother and my parents.

My father is the breadwinner. He is a cop, he makes money to support my family. My mother used to be a worker but she has become a housewife after getting married. Everyday, my mom takes me and the younger brother to school then goes to the market, cooks lunch and at 11 A.M she picks me up at my school. In evening, although my father is very busy with his job, sometimes he helps my mom to pick me up after my advanced class. Our brothers are assigned the same chores. Our tasks are feeding fish, walking the dog, cleaning the desk and doing the laundry in the weekend.

Overall, I think that my mom is the one who has the most burdens in my family. So recently, together we usually share the household chores with her. As my dad's favorite quote: happy wife, happy life.

We believe that sharing household chores is better than dividing it equally.
