Culture of Colombia - Family
The family is, as it is with nearly all of Latin America, a highly imporant institution to Colombians. Members of the extended family are close and children rarely ever move far away from their parents. There is a deep sense of familial responsability that stretches through many generations.
Traditionally, Men were usually the head of the household. In charge of earning most of the family's income while women were responsible for cooking, housework and raising children. However, like in most cultures around the world, the dawn of the 20th Century brought forth a great empowerment for women and today, the majority of families (regardless of economic class) are composed of both working parents.
At a child's baptism, the parents of the child will choose godparents, padrinos. A child's padrinos will play an important role in his life, giving advice, and when needed, financial support.
