Dear whoever is reading this,
In Aztec society, men were above women and the father was the master of the house. Married women could own property and sell goods. As a profession, some older women practiced matchmaking and midwifery.
The houses were built by men and men worked as farmers or at a craft. Women looked after the livestock,tended the garden, and wove beautiful cloth of many colors. Cloaks had patterns of sun designs or images of shells, fish,cacti,snakes,or butterflies. Women traded these things at the market.
An important job for women was to have and take care of children because the Aztecs believed that bring children into the world was the purpose of marriage. All boys attended school and commoners started school at the age of six, but they only attended part-time. At the telpochcalli,the "house of youth" at the time boys were trained to be soldiers. the son's of nobles went to a different school. They went to the calmecac, where they learned the skills to become government officials, military commanders, or priests.

That is what family life is like here.
