Essentially Stressed: Comparing the Parenting Stress of Essential and Non-Essential Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic
1 Introduction When COVID-19 was declared a pandemic in March 2020, families experienced major disruptions to their daily routines. Many parents were either laid off or forced to work from home while tasked with additional childcare when schools and daycares were closed (Qian and Fuller 2020). For the past 5 years, researchers have illuminated varied effects of the pandemic on the gendered division of domestic labor and parents' mental health.

COMMENTARY: Dads are stepping up to help out more at home during the pandemic Original
Over the past few months, everyday housework, like cooking and washing dishes, has multiplied and most parents have become responsible for teaching their kids. Given the uneven distribution of these tasks before the pandemic, much of this extra work has fallen squarely on mothers. Our work looks at trends in housework and child care during the early stages of the pandemic in Canada as one way to measure how it might disproportionately harm women.

Abstract Research continues to examine the barriers to and facilitators of positive fathering behaviors. One area recently addressed by researchers focuses on the relationship between masculine norm adherence and father involvement. Yet, little work has examined cross-national variability in this relationship—despite differences in gender norms, fathering expectations, and social policies across countries.

Only recently have fathers begun to develop their own online parenting sites and networks. Today, a growing number of “dad bloggers” are using social media to provide a window into their lives as fathers.
