Changing Family Roles

Choi immigrated to the United States from Korea about 10 years ago.  She is now 46 years old.  Here, she talks about how living in the United States has made her question traditional family roles:

In Korea, my husband did all the moneymaking.  Here, I have to make money, too.  It’s unfair, because only I got more work to do!  He doesn’t do any chores at home.  He always complains he’s so tired.  I understand.  But that’s not fair.  I’m very tired, too, but I come home and I cook, I clean, I do laundry.  He doesn’t do anything when he gets home.  He goes straight into his room and never comes out.  It’s unfair.”
