I do not have a video, but i can tell you this… For the middle, working class women, most of them are living very comfortable. When the women and their husbands go to work , they leave their children with a house girl (nanny), and a personal chauffer may be used at times to drop them off at work and pick them up.
Like Phillipina had commented on my previous post Life is not what you see on TV most families do have plenty of help compared to what an average family here is stuck doing on their own. You have someone to cook and clean, take care of the lawn, and do grocery shopping for you.
I grew up with 3 live in help. We had someone to take care of the livestock, someone to cook, clean, and someone who would take workers to the farm.
I was watching on Oprah.com this video about how women lived in Dubai, and it really brought back memories of home- Tanzania, Africa. Most family live close to each other, especially in their home towns. Home for most family members would be just down the street, or on the back yard, and just like the woman described in the video Meal times were family times. Everyone can drop in anytime and join in for dinner or lunch. I find myself doing same thing here, when i have friends over, i cook plenty – a buffet style, all you can eat, and if a friend happen to just show up and i have no meal prepared yet , i would get in the kitchen and fix them something to eat. I mean this is how women were raised in Africa. You learn from a young age how to cook and care for guests.
Here’ s that Video on Oprah..http://www.oprah.com/media/20091021-tows-dubai
You are right Sophia. Till date here in Tanzania – Africa family members, friends or neighbors can drop in anytime and join for Meal. We cook and we are never tired to cook. At least when someone comes to your home you should give him/her something to eat. We were raised this way and I will raise my kids the same way for sure.
Very True. I have boys, but i guarantee you, they will learn how to cook too.
