I have too much of an interest in Hutterite, Amish, and Mennonite cultures and life (as well as other religions) to know it was a "show". <br /><br />So it sounds like everyone helps and it's a little of everything. If I could swap someone doing my dusting for me doing their ironing I'd sure do that in a heartbeat! ha ha Thanks for answering the question - hope you had a nice weekend. ~ Beth Russo (The imPerfect Housewife - I really need to blog more now that I think of it) :)The imPerfect Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445825490522502792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524422546162791142.post-45481366144969018162012-09-07T08:08:23.504-07:002012-09-07T08:08:23.504-07:00Hope this answers your questions, Imperfect Housew...Hope this answers your questions, Imperfect Housewife: We grow up knowing that there are certain places where we will get a chance to work at, including cooking, baking, gardening, canning, butchering... Unless of course you're somebody like the headcook or teacher. I believe, because the variety of work, coupled with the joy of doing it together, far outweighs anybody's desire to be doing something else instead. Of course, there are things you'd rather not do, the same as for people in all walks of life. However, it's not really an issue here. Since we choose to live this life, we simply take everything in stride, knowing we're serving the community and not just ourselves.<br /><br />As for 'Meet the Hutterites', I wouldn't use it to learn more about the Hutterite way of life. It's quite frankly, a distorted portrayal, as you most likely read in my response on this blog.Hutt-Write Voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04972139441391835088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524422546162791142.post-14735277936028225092012-09-07T06:49:02.973-07:002012-09-07T06:49:02.973-07:00Thanks for showing this because for one thing, far...Thanks for showing this because for one thing, farming, open spaces, workers at work, all make great photography, but also because I like learning how you all do things on a daily basis as well as seasonal. <br /><br />Here's an off-topic question regarding working in the kitchen. Are people given a choice what they want to do on the colony, or is it chosen for them? If you have a woman that really dislikes cooking and being in the kitchen can she do something else, while someone who loves to cook take her place?<br /><br />I hate bringing up Meet the Hutterites, but they had a kitchen "boss" I guess it's called, and she said her daughter would then do that. What if her daughter felt drawn to something else? Or does everyone take a turn at different things?
