Aztec parents could be extremely strict, and children had to obey their parents at all times.
That meant no whining, no backchat and absolutely nO drawing a SiLlY MoUsTaChE on your dad’s face when he was asleep.
Speaking of dads, the father was head of the Aztec family, while the mother looked after the home and the children.
You wouldn´t dare.
Aztecs married when they were young – aged between 16 and 20 years old – and their marriages were arranged by their parents or a ‘matchmaker’. After they were married they would often live with the boy’s parents.
During a wedding, the young bride (who had her cheeks painted yellow or red!) and groom had their clothes tied together to show their lives were now joined. Next time you’re at a wedding try tying the bride’s dress to the groom’s trousers during the ceremony. If anyone complains just yell: “Well that’s how the aZtEcS did it!” and everyone will smile and cheer. Maybe.
