Childcare Task Division and Shared Parenting Attitudes in Dual‐Earner Families With Young Children*

Abstract

Fifty‐eight dual‐earner couples with young children (116 parents) completed interviews and self‐report measures to evaluate shared parenting (SP), marital satisfaction, and division of child‐care tasks. As expected, psychological and relational SP dimensions predicted marital satisfaction, parental competence, and closeness to their children, but division of child‐care tasks did not. The findings were interpreted to highlight how family practitioners may educate and support stressed dual‐earner couples regarding these relational aspects of shared parenting.
