Domestic Responsibilities

domestic responsibilities: A whole vocabulary developed the mommy track , the mommy brain , the motherhood penalty , according to The Star. Initially, there were too few non-traditional fathers to test her hypothesis. But finally, with couples beginning to split the responsibilities of child-rearing more equitably, she has been able to do the research to challenge the prevailing myth and Work-life balance has always been considered a womens issue. It was mothers who struggled with the dual role of income-earner and family caregiver; mothers who were demoted or passed over for promotions because of their domestic responsibilities; mothers who earned less than their male counterparts and their childless female colleagues. For a long time, Jennifer Berdahl , a professor of organizational behaviour at the Rotman School of Management, had an uneasy feeling about this diagnosis.
