Question

For example, the husband works, the wife stays at home...etc.

To Thetruth: You're f*cked in the head.

To Mexican Woman
The reason why I asked this question is because I'm doing a research on Mexico.
You've taken what I've said and twisted it in a way that offended you. All I was asking was what are some TRADITIONAL family roles that a Mexican family have.

Those were examples of what I was similarly looking for. I was not in any way, suggesting that that's the roles that all mexican families' have.

If I'm as stupid as my question, then you're as narrow-minded as your answer, and that must also be a fact.

Answer 1

Hi, my family is from Mexico. Well, it depends on the income of the family and where they live (city or town or village). Most of my relatives live in small towns.....my female cousins are married(they usually marry around 18-20) and have around 2-4 kids (not 15 like some people think!) and they work. Some Mexican women work and some don't...it depends on her/him and the family's needs. In my family, some of my cousins are teachers and some work with their husband's in their family-run businesses. Child-rearing is usually done by the mom/aunt/grandma (the woman), but men do have an important role in the raising of the family. Mexican families tend to be very close, and the idea of enjoying ones company is very important. Mexican women usually want a husband that will be a good husband and great father...they are not interested in having an ****** that will get drunk and beat the crap out of them.

Sorry, it's a bit long....hope this helps.

Well it will be hard since gay men are really not yet well accepted in mexican society, I think that any traditional family gay people still not accepted in any "traditional" society around the globe. But Guadalajara is well known to have a large gay community, however a lot of this gay man look like a Mexican macho, they were cowboy boots and have a big moustache, you can not really know they are gay until they start speaking, maybe there you can find the guy you are looking for.

Yes they don't have the option of welfare. The husband works and the wife cares for a rather large family. (which could include parents/grandparents.

Answer 7

Same as every family, Jesus, what are we, a tribe ????

Family roles have been change thru the years based on many things, if your perception of a Mexican family is that the husband works, wife stays at home to take care of 20 kids all almost same age and lives in a small house in a poor neighboor, many chickens, dunkeys, etc.... well, you are as stupid as your question, and this is a fact.

No morals in mexico.... the average women has 7 kids by five different men.... that was according to Newsweek a few years back....
