Growing up, I was privy to a family make up that many still do not consider. From the outside, it appeared a traditional nuclear family made up of a mother, a father, and 2.5 kids since we counted the dog as a baby. However, our daily routine differed from that of other nuclear families; my mother was the one who got up to go to work every day while my father raised my brother and I, completed household tasks, and even painted my nails on occasion. Though I grew up finding no issue with this…
