When it comes to the parents in Puerto Rico, the dad works and the mom helps to cook and clean with the grandmother.  When it comes to the children, it's very different. The children, go to school, do their homework, and do their chores like take out the trash and etc. In Puerto Rico, some families live with their elders but not all.
