taken from other metropolitan and tier-II cities; personal interviews with

children's social and academic competence, and ratings by classroom peers
of their behavior and how much they are liked

mothers between the ages of 25-40 years.

Ethical Considerations
Others
Traditional gender roles which viewed male as breadwinner and female as
homemaker, have changed over the time and there has been an increase in
families headed by two working spouses (Perrone, Wright & Jackson, 2009)
and support to this notion keeps increasing (Gallup Pakistan, 2009). In few of
the societies due to men and women both being working, men have started
contributing to household chores (Lewis, 2012) still in many societies, due to
their culturally determined gender Ideologies (Reeves & Baden, 2000) the
responsibility of child care and other family members, remains with women
(Barksdale, (n.d.) and they are faced with juggling the role of mother, partner
and daughter as well as employee (Austen & Birch, 2000)
