Early research on working mothers suggested that girls took on more housework when their mothers were employed outside the home. This chapter takes an updated look at this issue by asking whether daughters take on more housework when their mothers report stressful occupational conditions and by making within‐family comparisons of sons' versus daughters' involvement in housework.
