The Issue
Too many families in Mexico follow a similar parent in which the guys will always be better off. I always felt bad when I visited my friends’ homes and notice how their sisters were required to do more than them in the house, even things like doing the laundry for their brothers was a common task.
The Danger
There is a great danger because it is a pattern that in many cases will be generational. I feel that if they pursue a gender-based parenting as the one described on the example, we will continue to see many women that do not pursue an education or settle on their goals and dreams.
It seems that when families divide upbringing on the basis of gender, they want to help their children find a place in this world, they also want children to know the importance of their role as mothers (for girls) and providers (for boys). But the danger, in my opinion, lies in the fact that these two structures are not interconnected, a man does not help a woman with children and around the house, and a man does not ask a woman for advice on her career and investments. Also, children are deprived of the opportunity to develop their talents and be themselves.
The Solution
Our Father in Heaven perfectly knows our differences. He helps us develop our own strengths and help each other in our mortal probation. Although he knows we are different the expectations and vision is the same for all this children: to become co-heirs with Christ, Queens, and kings of the Most high. Those expectations help us know more or our value, how we are, and who we can become.
