Children and Housework in the Single Father Family.

Greif, Geoffrey L.

Family Relations, v34 n3 p353-57 Jul 1985

Questionnaire response from 1,136 single fathers raising children alone revealed that as children grew older, they participated more in housework, and that fathers received more help from teenage daughters than from teenage sons. Fathers' use of outside help and daughters as mother substitutes are discussed. (Author/NRB)
