Ancient Egyptian Daily life (Family Life)

Family life

Egyptian society revolved around the family
The women ran the household and the family; most women devoted their lives to their families and did not work while men would work to earn money to protect their family from starving, the jobs vary depending on how wealthy the family already is.  
Poor families struggled to keep their families together, fed, and educated because they had very low paying jobs and did not receive all their rights that wealthy families would do.  On the other hand, wealthy families really didn’t need to work, they had a much better life than the middle class and the poor families.  They were more educated, relaxed, and their children had a better life.  

Sizes of the families varied depending on the wealth of the family.  Also included in the family was pets, most were cats, it was the children’s responsibility to look after them.
