From Slate:
UCLA researchers Elinor Ochs and Belinda Campos [UCI] spent three years filming a
group of 32 middle-class families with two working parents in order to track their
behaviors in a range of ways. The Atlantic has an excerpt of Ochs and Campos’ new
book, Fast-Forward Family: Home, Work, and Relationships in Middle-Class America about
how children and spouses behave when the mother and father return home from work.
Their takeaway was that most children and spouses behave positively when the second
spouse comes home from work (usually the dad), but the alternative is not a negative
response—it’s being ignored.
