WHO RULES THE ROOST?
The straightforward answer to this is “Mother.” Mexico is a profoundly matriarchal society and maternal power rules families. It is a question of “traditional” roles reinterpreted: as men are still the main breadwinners, women are in charge of the home, and therefore the family. It makes sense. Reverence for women stretches a long way back: the country’s patron saint since 1531 has been the Virgin of Guadalupe.
Mexican women as a rule are generally very house-proud, and even though an apartment complex may look neglected from the outside it will be sparkling indoors. Daughters may be expected to help around the house, but sons are not, and tend not to volunteer. Some enlightened husbands will help a little, but again that is rare.
