Sociology of The Family Discussion

I’m working on a sociology writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

1. A common assumption is that stay-at-home mothers “don’t work.” However, as discussed in your textbook, unpaid household labor plays a significant role in the economy and within families. 

For this assignment, make a list of the housework and care work that a stay-at-home parent completes such as meal preparation, shopping, cleaning, errands, transportation, child care, and so on.

 Then conduct research to find out how much it would cost a family to pay for these services. 

Also, identify how the labor of a stay-at-home parent directly contributes to and supports the work of other family members.
