equality in a relationship

By Ashley

My parents have been divorced for almost 10 years now. They still have a strong friendship because of me and my younger brother. Before we moved to Texas and lived in Oklahoma is a good example of how my parents had more equality in responsibility of us then my friends whose parents were married.

My brother and I lived with my mom and my dad stayed about 15 minutes away in an apartment. They worked for the same company but my mom worked 1st shift and my dad worked 3rd. Every morning after my dad got off work he would come to our house and get my brother and I ready for school. This way my mom only had to worry about getting herself ready. He would make us breakfast and take us to school. He would also pick us up for school and take me to gymnastics practice. When my mom got home from work she would make dinner, do laundry, and/or clean the house. My dad would pick me up from practice when I was done. Occasionally my mom would get me and my dad would get dinner ready. After dinner was homework, depending on what subject it was depended on who helped who. Normally mom helped me and dad helped my brother.

Even though they are divorced they still share the responsibility of raising us.
