Abstract
Twenty-seven mothers of preschool children were interviewed to determine what degree of conflict they experienced between the tasks of housework and child care. The components and consequences of housework-child care conflict are examined on both social-psychological and structural levels with application to both theoretical and practical considerations.Keywords
