Mom? Dad? Both? Not surprisingly, the answer twenty years ago would have overwhelmingly been Mom. More recent studies have yielded what, on the surface, appear to be contradictory findings. On the one hand, the Fatherhood Institute found that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fatherhoodinstitute.org\/2020\/mens-childcare-up-58-during-lockdown-makes-case-for-father-friendly-jobs\/\">men\u2019s childcare during the pandemic lockdown is up 58%.<\/a> On the other hand, The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) found that during the pandemic, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/business-52808930\">working mothers are doing more chores and childcare than their working male partners<\/a>, even though they are locked down in the same household. Diving deeper into the first study, researchers found that because men are working from home and thus commuting on average 1 hour and 37 minutes less per day, they are spending that time engaged with their children. That increase of 58% is really an additional 1 hour and 37 minutes per day. Mothers, on the other hand, are still doing the bulk of childcare. As the IFS study found, during the pandemic lockdown, mothers can accomplish only one hour of uninterrupted professional work compared to three hours for fathers, even though they both work from home. Interestingly, women continue to do most of the childcare even if both parents are unemployed. The IFS research speaks to the fact that men and women often experience family differently.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-110290 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/06\/pexels-ron-lach-10033202-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"A family and children having a birthday party outside.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/06\/pexels-ron-lach-10033202-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/06\/pexels-ron-lach-10033202-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/06\/pexels-ron-lach-10033202-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/06\/pexels-ron-lach-10033202-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/uitac.com\/inthenewsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/06\/pexels-ron-lach-10033202-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A range of other variables affects the differences men and women experience in the family. Does the society practice <strong>patrilocal<\/strong> <strong>residence<\/strong>, <em>a living pattern in which a couple resides with or near the husband\u2019s parents<\/em>? Or is <strong>matrilocal<\/strong>, <em>a living pattern in which a couple resides with or near the wife\u2019s parents<\/em>, or <strong>neolocal,<\/strong> <em>a living pattern in which a couple establishes residence independent of their parents<\/em>, the norm?
