Book description
It is a very sad story that Mrs. Piggott has a piggy husband and sons.
Mrs Piggott needs to cook the meal, wash the dishes, make the beds, iron the
clothes and other chores. Mrs Piggott cannot stand anymore because she works
for the family as a servant. She decides to find a way to tell them that she
cannot take this anymore. Being a mother is never easy.
Evaluation
When we talk about family structure, it is always complicated. Who
should take care of the family? How to divide the chore? How to run a family
effectively? There are heaps of questions. One thing makes me baffle is that
family is not a company; family is not a factory. It is a bit odd to set the
rules, duty lists, supervisor or hierarchy terms. We all expect our mother
takes care of all the family issues because this is a social norm.
Therefore,
our fathers can focus on the work and make a living. In this modern century, can our well-educated and financially
independent women accept this norm? In this story, Mrs Piggott decides to
walk away from home when she is exhausted to do all the housework.
I agree women nowadays can speak for themselves more easily than
before. We become stronger to express our wants and needs. We call for gender
equality. We ask for respect at workplaces and everywhere. However, from my
childhood, I was not taught in this way. It takes time for me to learn this:
how to be a woman; how to act out a better woman for this society.
Sometimes
I question can we have a family with two mums or two dads? It will lead to my
another book sharing. Right now, I am still thinking and preparing for my
perspective family, which have to be perfect.
