Families had five or more children because so many children died before they grew up. Girls usually lived at home until they got married. Boys got married a little older and lived in their parents house. The fathers role was to help provide for the family. Women's role was to cook dinner, clean the house, make clothes and take care of their children. Children did not have to help at home but when they grew up it was their parents choice. After age 14 boys would help with agriculture and trade. Girls would have to help with household chores. |
