“Household Labor and the routine production of Gender”: Scott Coltrane

Coltrane presents an analysis containing numerous couples who have children. The research focused primarily on the participation of child care between the husband and wife. Although many of the couples try their best to equally divide the care for the child, the mother tends to fall within the stereotype of “naturally” taking care of the child, especially during the infant years of the child. However, all the couples did all their activities with the child as the center of attention. Such as work hours, child care hours, etc. The father’s have done a lot of work, sometimes equal to the work of the mothers. However, the equal amount of work should be the “natural” thing to do. As best as they can, parents should perform the child care equally. That way the child will grow up better and view the love and support of both parents as equal.

Household Labor and the Routine Production of Labor by Scott Coltrane

I think Coltrane’s study was pretty interesting. I never realized how many couples actually took the time to make sure that BOTH parents put in the same amount of work. One couple even took it as far as to make a log of all the hours each parent put in when it came to caring for the infant and doing household work. While they took it to an extreme, in my opinion, I understood what they meant. A common thought amongst society is that women usually spend the most time doing household work and caring for the kids. But I think Coltrane’s study is giving some good insight into the fact that this may not be completely true. Yes, a lot of men don’t put in as much effort but it seems as if a lot of men actually do.

This study also shows how men are willingly taking on a lot of household duties that women are usually expected to do. At one point in the study, one woman said that her husband assumed all the cooking duties in the household and she would come home from work and ask him what were they having for dinner. I found that to be drastically different from what couples used to traditionally do back in like the 1950s. Over the summer, my mom told me that I needed to learn how to cook because my future husband would come and expect to see his dinner already laid out for him. I remember responding to her like, “no Mom, when I get home my man better have MY food ready.” I think a lot of women nowadays have that same mindset and Coltrane’s study is giving some good insight into that.

Household Labor and the Routine Production of Gender

Scott Coltrane

Coltrane conducted a study where couples were interviewed about their methods of child rearing and shared parenting. He focused on three factors: the interactions that "facilitate the sharing of household labor", how the couples described the requirements of parenting and how they "evaluate men's developing capacities for nurturing, and the "impact of sharing domestic labor on conceptions of gender". (p 202) 

Coltrane found that 2/3 of the parents' were in a fairly equal situation as far as household labor was concerned, however 3/4 of them commented that they felt the mother did most of the work when it came to caring for infants. All of the women reduced their work hours while only half of the men did. (p 203) As far as the method of caring for their children, all of the parents worked together and "placed a high value on their children's well-being, defined parenting as an important and serious undertaking, and organized most of their nonemployed hours around their children" (p 207).

Many of the tasks that involve child care, cooking, cleaning and other household tasks were shared equally among both parents, while many of the major tasks like mechanical repairs on the car among other things around the house and landscaping were done by the men. (p 208)

It is very interesting to compare this to the past because before the 1970's many of the domestic labor was only preformed by the women in the household, which was cooking, cleaning, child rearing, etc. The task of repairing things was still done by men, but usually not by the man who owned the house. The wives would usually call a repair man or someone to come fix what ever the problem was because the husband was always working. This was the usual pattern of middle class White-American households during that time period.

Response to Coltrane, "Household Labor and the Routine Production of Gender"

Men helping women with motherhood sounds excellent to me. I'm all for men taking more then just the provider role in the family. Right off the bat (literally the first sentence) we are informed how "motherhood is often perceived as the quintessence of womanhood." I believe this text reveals the better side of genders. That gender can be shared and there are men who are willing to partake in child-caring, a role that is considered feminine. It was a nice change from the few male centric texts we've read, to read about this softer side of men. That these men (it appears) had no worries over their masculinity, they wanted to be apart of caring for their child as their father and they did. That's how all men who enter fatherhood should feel.

"Nevertheless, almost all parents indicated that no one should be forced to perform a specific task because they were a man or a woman. This implicit equity ideal was evidenced by mothers and fathers using time availability, rather than gender, to assign most household tasks." Yes, this is the sense in which people should think. That household chores aren't distinguished by gender but by who is capable of doing whatever task that needs to be done whenever. Each couple has their own way of dividing this work, how it's done and so forth. Father's need this division of child-caring to be able to better adapt and tap into that sensitivity that all men have but refuse to show (acknowledge?). I liked that this text focused on something positive for once.
