Brian I work as a carpenter, I leave the house early and come back in the evening. After preparing breakfast for the family, my wife, Susan, works in the field in the mornings. She returns to prepare lunch for our children. She fetches water and firewood, makes sure the house and compound are clean. When I come back from work I am very tired. My wife brings me water to wash my hands and serves me food. She does the dishes and prepares the beds for all of us.

Ever since we got together, my wife Sarah and me have shared responsibilities. We get up around the same time, prepare breakfast, clean the house and help the children. We work on our farm together. When we come home from the field, I carry the vegetables and she carries some firewood. We both go and fetch water whenever we need it. She takes the lead on cooking but I help chopping vegetables and cleaning the kitchen and compound.

My wife Katherine does a lot of work. She works on the farm and does all the housework, bathing the children, collecting water and fuel, cleaning, cooking, making sure the house is okay. I do some agricultural work and some casual labour. I often meet up with friends to chat or relax. Usually I do not help my wife with her work.
