Answer 1

Answer:

C. The overwhelming majority of Americans still believe that the breadwinning father/stay-at- home mother is the ideal family.

Explanation:

According to Arlie Hochschild when she discusses gender and work life balance. Gender is a determinant of time usage and quality.

Women now have obligations to paid and unpaid work that superceded a man's. Her work at home is more stressful and subject to interuptions.

This implies that women have less work life balance than men.

So the belief that the breadwinning father/stay-at- home mother is the ideal family is not true.
