1. Explain the three perspectives for the gendered division of household labor: the time-availability perspective, the relative resources perspective, and the gender perspective. The first perspective labeled is the time availability in the household. This includes considering the housework that needs to be done, how well each partner does certain tasks, and how available one another is when the chores need to be done. The second perspective is relative resources . This theory is based on how much resources or value a partner may bring in, and how it correlates to how much power a partner is given over the relationship. If the husband is the sole “breadwinner” when he comes home he may expect not to have to do any housework since the money he is bringing in covers his portion of the housework. And lastly, the third theory is the gender perspective . As the name states, this theory describes women doing a woman's job and men doing the manlier tasks. For example, a woman's chores may be doing the dishes, cleaning the house, and doing laundry. While a man's chores might be taking the trash out, mowing the lawn, or cleaning the gutters. 2. Explain the challenges families face in juggling work and family life: work-family conflict, role overload, and spillover. The first of the three challenges people face is work-family conflict . This comes up when work life interferes with family life and vice versa. An example of this conflict would be having a nonflexible 9-5 but having to pick the kids up from school at 2. Another conflict that may arise is role overload . This is described as basically having too much on your plate. If you are a mother who works a job, you are more likely to still have the expectations to pick up the kids, help with their homework, cook dinner, wash the dishes, and prep the kids for bed before you have even tended to yourself. Feeling overwhelmed by the daily tasks and expectations and the need to get them done on time and efficiently is what leads to stress and poorer health down the line. Lastly, another conflict that arises is called spillover . This is described as when negative and sometimes positive emotions, moods, and experiences spill over onto other areas or family time. An example would be when a mother comes home from a stressful and irritating day at work and snaps at her husband or kids if some chores aren't done in a misdirected shout. 3. Explain the issues associated with leaving or staying in an abusive relationship. A common reason found for women staying is called learned helplessness. Due to the constant verbal insults and physical abuse, these women have little or no self-esteem since that is how their partner controls them. The most common tactics and factors abusers use to keep them are blaming the victim, creating financial dependency, Isolating the victim, exploiting them, threatening retaliation, and creating fear and abandonment. All of these can contribute to another condition called battered women's syndrome. It is often described as similar to PTSD since it is a subcategory to it. 4. Explain how violence in gay and lesbian relationships differs compared to violence in heterosexual relationships. The main difference in how violence differs from hetero and homosexual relationships is that society doesn't or didn't know much about them to begin with and it was found that abuse is as if not more prevalent within same-sex relationships but the tactics are a bit different. Abusers may threaten to out them to the public, and with that comes the fear of isolation and dependency on the abuser since they have that power. They are also less likely to call the police or report

abuse since that would not only out them but fuel the fire in thinking same-sex relationships are dysfunctional. Also since they are more likely to fight back, if police are called they may say the fight was mutual and leave it unresolved.
