The responsibilities are overwhelming. They are accountable for the entire family income, maintaining a home, nutrition needs and child rearing. The influx of women to the workforce is another reason for less time spent with children. Naomi Freundlich (1997) reported a whopping 50% of the workforce is comprised of women and 55% of all women contribute more than half of their family’s income. Finding a balance for fulfilling traditional family roles of housekeeper and caregiver and attaining traditional success symbols of money and power is becoming increasingly difficult.
Many women are devastated with the conflict of working versus child rearing. Fifty million mothers worry about placing their children in daycare, according to the national Institute of Child Health and Human Development ("Quality time counts," 1998). Whatever losses the children endure, from a working mother of a low-income family, are compensated for by the added paycheck. Therefore, the negative impact of working mothers may be limited to the middle class (Hawley, Rosenholtz, Goodstein, & Hasselbring, 1984). The consequences of “trying to do it all†are not only felt in the heart of the family, but also in the job performance and within the self.
2.5 Theoretical Framework.
This study is based on Charles Darwin’s social theory which emphasize that every citizen should be given, through education, the social status to which he or she entitles him or her to inherited aptitude. Schematically, the theory observes that provision of formal equity of access to education by putting everybody on the same level from the scratch guarantees that the ensuring run is a just one. The theory asserts that the criteria of the scholastic promotion should be ability and will. Therefore the home environment is expected to set in motion an intensive social mobility by facilitating an open competition where the academically able would get access to careers that they deserve is significant. All students should therefore be given a conducive home environment to learn so as to excel in academics.
