Document Summary
Dads are often having fun while moms work around the house: The study found that three months after the birth of their first child, on days when couples were not working, men were most often relaxing while women did housework or child care. In contrast, when men were taking care of the kids or working around the house, their partners were most often doing the same thing. Women spent 46-49 minutes relaxing while men did child care or housework on their day off but men spent about 101 minutes (twice that amount of time) while their partners did some kind of work. Claire kamp dush conducted the study with sarah schoppe-sullivan. The research included 52 couples who participated in the new parents project, an ohio state study of mostly highly educated, white, dual-earner couples from the columbus area who were having their first child. The sample was small but the difficulty was doing this kind of study.
