ORIGINAL SOURCE

Take the example of housework in a two-job marriage. A husband does the laundry, makes the beds, washes the dishes. Relative to his father, his brother, and several men on the block this husband helps more at home. He also does more than he did ten years ago. All in all he feels he has done more than his wife could reasonably expect, and with good spirit. He feels he has given her a gift and that she should be grateful. But to his wife, the matter seems altogether different. In addition to her eight hours at the office, she does 80 percent of the housework. Relative to all she does, relative to what she wants to expect of him, what she feels she deserves, her husband’s contribution seems welcome but not extra, not a gift. So his gift is “mis-received.” For each partner sees this gift through different cultural prisms. By creating different prisms for men and women, larger social forces can reduce gratitude.

Hochschild (2003) pointed out that the husband and wife sharing housework see the husband’s contribution in relative terms—but that what his share of the work is relative to differs for each of them. “Relative to his father, his brother, and several men on the block this husband helps more at home. He also does more than he did ten years ago. . . . [but r]elative to all she does, relative to what she wants to expect of him, what she feels she deserves, her husband’s contribution seems welcome but not extra, not a gift” (p. 105).
