FAMILY LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES
Family life in the United States is changing. Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a
“housewife”. She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the mo ney for the family.
He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.
These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with the children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?
Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wife
agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.
Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from
grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents are often too far away to help in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysitter or a day-care center. The problem with t his kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.
Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for. Many companies now let
people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend mo re time with their children.
Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new word: they are called “househusbands”. In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands every year.
These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their
children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.

- A. went out to work
- B. had no children

Dear ??!
Hanoi is rainy and cold, I miss you so much. How long have you been away from me? Is it only 5 days? Why did it take me so long! From the time my friend left me, no one was eating ice cream with me anymore, no one was wandering in the evening with me on the shores of Lake. I never played close with anyone until I met my friend. When I first saw you, I didn't it either, because back then you looked so gentle! And I have a personality a boy, I think we can never be friends. But a miraculous thing happened, in a heavy rain, I did not bring a raincoat, so you asked me to share a raincoat with you because my friend and I are near each other's house. It was at that time, I considered you a good friend of mine.
We get closer every day, go to school, hang out. Every time you get bullied by someone, call me to help. When I was home alone, my friends came over to cook noodles for me to eat. Playing with friends always makes me happy, you have made me less naughty and more studious. My parents always told me to study my friends because you're good and good at school. Did you miss me in Vung Tau? Do you crave Trang Tien ice cream? If you want to eat please give me a call! I will deliver express delivery to Vung Tau immediately. It's not as cold in Hanoi as it is, but you also have to try to stay healthy, don't forget to apply eye drops every time you go home from school because you often get dust in your eyes. Let's fulfill our promise to study well! Later you become a doctor, I will ask you to examine me.
It's too late, I'm going to bed now, I'll be teaching early for school tomorrow. Every morning, when sleeping, teach me to smile because I am always with you! Whenever you remember me or something sad or write confided to me! I will always miss you, you will always be my best friend! I wish you good night and have nice dreams.
