My father doesn’t do a lot but he tries to help. He hangs up the clothes after my mother washes them and my mother is happy that he can always give her a hand.

Bruce, 16

My mother is a doctor. She is busy with her work every day, so she has little time to do the housework. In fact, she isn’t good at doing it. So my father has to do most of the house work. Sometimes my grandmother comes to help.
