One topic discussed is Second Shift. Second shift is when women assume greater responsibility for domestic labor, even when they work as many hours outside the home as their partners.
After a long day at work, women come home, do things with the kids, cook, clean, help with homework, and then put the kids to bed, she then gets a few hours of time to herself before she starts the cycle again the next morning starting with breakfast, making sure kids/husband are up, and everyone gets off to work or school on time. All the while they are not being appreciated for working about 24 hours a day while the male counterpart can get away with coming home from work with some rest. However, in recent years and studies, if has been found that this trend of men getting to rest is no longer to be true. Men are getting more involved in the family situation and helping out around the house, this could be in part to the woman nagging for help, or could be because of modern day upbringing where the men are in a home watching their mother's run around and have become expected to contribute.
