The stepparent role from a gender perspective
Article Abstract:
Women's roles of taking care of the children and doing the housework are similar for both mothers and stepmothers. A dilemma exists between the stepmother role and the traditional female role, as the former expects a certain distance while the latter does not. This dilemma is resolved when the female role conquers the stepparent role and decides on what to do. There is no such dilemma for males, as both their step role and male role suggest distance, with their being a man becoming decisive of what to do.
