[post_page_title]Doing their ‘Saturday work'[/post_page_title]
As devout Christians, the Amish have a very traditional view of the family – it’s the man’s job to be the breadwinner while the woman stays at the house as homemaker and childrearer. These traditional genders roles have been gently challenged of late, with Amish women owning and operating their own small businesses.
Nevertheless, even working moms are still moms first and foremost, and they have a routine. Sweeping floors and cleaning dishes is done daily, while major cleaning operations, like mopping floors, is a weekly chore. In fact, it’s part of “Saturday work” – various cleaning and upkeep work around the house done before Sunday.
