In the case of heterosexual couples with children, the woman tends to be viewed as the default, responsible parent. Women’s personal and professional sacrifices are taken for granted and become ingrained as an expected social identity. For instance, women are often thought of as mothers (firstly) who work for pay (secondly) – or working mothers. Yet men who work and are fathers are rarely thought of as working fathers. The heightened pressure that often falls on women with these dual roles is summarized by the saying: “We expect women to work like they don’t have children, and to raise children as if they don’t work.”
