In a study by the UCLA Sloan Center on Everyday Lives and Families, researchers tracked the daily lives of 32 dualworker middle class Los Angeles families between 2001 and 2004. The results are startling, and enlightening. Fast-Forward Family shines light on a variety of issues that face American families: the differing stress levels among parents; the problem of excessive clutter in the American home; the importance (and decline) of the family meal; the vanishing boundaries that once separated work and home life; and the challenges for parents as they try to reconcile ideals regarding what it means to be a good parent, a good worker, and a good spouse. Though there are also moments of connection, affection, and care, it's evident that life for 21st century working parents is frenetic, with extended work hours, children's activities, chores, meals to prepare, errands to run, and bills to pay. 606 $aMiddle class families$zUnited States 606 $aWork and family$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMiddle class families 615 0$aWork and family 676 $a306.850973 701 $aOchs$b Elinor$0220950 701 $aKremer-Sadlik$b Tamar$01054428 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452706503321 996 $aFast-forward family$92486997 997 $aUNINA
