Bob and Cindy are married and have always considered their roles in the family and
household to be equal. Both work fulltime jobs and share the household chores fairly
equally. However, at the birth of their first child, Cindy is now only working part-time in
order to stay at home more with their child. She has also taken on more of the household
responsibilities. This changing of the roles to a more traditional setting is known as the
gender imperative
gender traditionalism
parental imperative
O parental traditionalism
