living together

I have lived away from home since my graduation. I went to study at the university. Living away from home is a very responsible move in everyone's life. You have to make your own decisions, be responsible for your own behavior, affairs. I think it's normal and everyone ever need to live without parents in order to learn to live oneself. By the way, on the one hand, it gives a lot of advantages and opportunities. Firstly, you can do whatever you want without any control. You can go shopping, to the party, eat whatever you want. Secondly, you learn to do everything yourself: cooking, washing etc. And finally, you can live with your friends. On the other hand, you have to do everything yourself: cooking, washing, ironing, that is everything that mother used to do it before. As I mentioned, you have to make up your mind and to be responsible for it. Besides, no protection and you miss your family. They cannot support you enough in crucial moment, because they are far away from you. To be honest, I'd like to live without my parents, to feel freedom in making decisions, and to try to live with other people. When you live with someone else together, you have to endure your neighbor's habits, share your things and so on. And the first person, with whom I had to live, was the hostess of apartment, that I had rented. She was an old single woman. At first, she seemed to be strict and grumpy. Her only hobby was hens and chickens. She was always concerning them. Moreover, she used to go mad at me when she brought them in our house. Only then realized I that she was someone with a very positive attitude, who respected my privacy. She turned out a very nice woman. Now I live with my husband, and my family and I consider him a very quiet person, who never worries about anything. He is not chatty and fussy, doesn't like company, he prefers to sit at home and watch TV or use the Internet. As for the housework, he is neat and always helps me. We always do everything together and don't pay any attention on our disadvantages. However, we know, that there are a lot of characteristics and qualities that differ men from women. For example, phychological differences are the most interesting differences between men and women. Both have strong character differences. But men are more impulsive and analytic than women. Women's brains are more irrigated than men's brains. In society women have good social skills. Also, women develop more friendships than men. That's why they are chatty people. Being competitive, men have a sense of achievement and a need to prove yourself. Since women are more emotional, they have a tendency to panic unlike men. Women and men have peer pressure differences. These differences explain gender roles. It's well-known, that women do housework: cooking, washing, ironing and men work a lot to earn money. But today we can see inverted picture: a man, as a househusband with children and his wife, doing her career and getting money. It's normal in current society. Actually I think, that men and women must just help, support each other in spite of any differences.
