I'm reading about childcare now, it's not relevant for my dissertation but it's so crazy!!All these men who are conveniently 'afraid' of hurting their babies when dressing/washing them!As though women magically know how to do it!

Part Two: H-wife embodies her job, sets her own standards, sets them high to allow for psychological rewards... often doomed to fail.Shopping=escape and window-shopping= escapist fantasy. H-work is bad due to MONOTONY and LACK OF SOCIAL INTERACTION but women don't mind the FRAGMENTATION or HOURS even though these are seen as bad things in other work. Husband help is class influenced. Men HATE prams but not the buggy.

Part one done and the appetite is whetted!! Fascinating stuff and the studies mentioned are making me wonder if they were redone in 2011 would the response really be any different?
