The daily life of the Aztecs was quite simple and very similar to many modern day cultures. Most Aztecs households included the husband, wife and any unmarried children. The husband was primarily responsible for supporting the family and the wife's role was to provide the family with clothes and food. The Aztec daily life for many of the men was to hunt and farm. The female Aztec life mainly consisted of weaving and cooking. In addition to the husband wife and children it was common for the husbands relatives to live within the home as well. The Aztec daily life was filled with work for every member including the children. The children often helped to create goods to sell however education was also important for the boys. The boys were taught by their fathers until the age of then. Then they were educated in a school connected with a temple where they learned religion and received military training. Sometimes girls attended these schools as well.
