In a way there arose a self conflict, to achieve as much as my peers and have limitless conversations with them I had to at least achieve as much as them.

In most times relating with them was difficult because they would avoid any discussions with me. it is within this struggle not to waste my time that I begun to see myself as an important family, a father, a husband.

In a usual family, there are set roles. A father, mother, and children. Stereotypically, each role is supposed to have a set job- the father is in charge of the family, making the rules, the mother cooks and helps the children, and the children play. This stereotype is slowly changing throughout the years, and some could argue that it is different for their family.
