Title = {Low-income mothers as "othermothers" to their romantic
partners' children: Women's coparenting in multiple partner
fertility family structures},
Journal = {Family Process},
Volume = {51},
Pages = {343-359},
Year = {2013},
Abstract = {In this article, we investigated low-income mothers’
involvement in multiple partner fertility (MPF)
relationships and their experiences as “othermothers” to
their romantic partners’ children from previous and
concurrent intimate unions. Othermothering, as somewhat
distinct from stepmothering, involves culturally-scripted
practices of sharing parenting responsibilities with
children’s biological parents. We framed this
investigation using this concept because previous research
suggests that many low-income women practice this form of
coparenting in their friend and kin networks. What is not
apparent in this literature, however, is whether women
unilaterally othermother their romantic partners’ children
from different women. How often and under what circumstances
do women in nonmarital MPF intimate unions with men coparent
their partners’ children from other relationships? We
explored this question using a modified grounded theory
approach and secondary longitudinal ethnographic data on 256
low-income mostly unmarried mothers from the Three-City
Study. Results indicated that 78% of the mothers had been or
were involved in MPF unions and while most had othermothered
the children of their friends and relatives, 89% indicated
that they did not coparent their partners’ children from
any MPF relationship. Mothers’ reasons for not doing so
were embedded in: (a) gendered scripts around second
families or casa chicas; (b) the tenuous nature of
pass-through MPF relationships; and, (c) mothers’ own
desires for their romantic partners to child-swap.
Implications of this research for family science and
practice are discussed.},

Abstract = {Role confusion is a deviation in the parent-child
relationship such that a parent looks to a child to meet the
parent's emotional needs and abdicates, in part, the
parental role in exchange for care, intimacy, or peer
support from the child. In addition, a child may initiate
role-confused behavior in order to gain closeness to a
parent who is otherwise preoccupied by his or her own needs.
The current study examined associations between mother-child
role confusion at age 5 (we coded role confusion from filmed
free-play mother-child interactions) and teacher reports of
internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and peer problems,
at Grade 1. The sample (N = 557) is from a longitudinal
study of families in rural communities, the Family Life
Project. Mother-child role confusion predicted internalizing
symptoms and peer problems (but not externalizing symptoms)
above and beyond other dimensions of maternal parenting
(sensitivity and harsh intrusiveness), demographic factors,
and prior levels of outcome variables. However, some effect
sizes were small, making replication desirable. Temperament
and child sex were important moderators: girls with
difficult temperaments and boys with easy temperaments were
more vulnerable to internalizing symptoms (but not
externalizing symptoms or peer problems) in the context of
role confusion. We discuss the singular importance of role
confusion, a construct that has been largely unrecognized by
developmental psychologists until recently, for behavioral
outcomes of children as they transition into middle
childhood. (PsycINFO Database Record},

Abstract = {Otitis media (OM)-or middle-ear inflammation-is the most
widely diagnosed childhood illness, with evidence
implicating OM in a range of distal problems (e.g., language
delays, attention problems). Polyvagal theory (Porges, 1995,
2007) posits that there also are likely important
connections between middle-ear functioning and children's
developing parasympathetic nervous systems (PNS). Using
prospective longitudinal data from the Family Life Project
(n = 748), we tested within- and between-person relations
between indicators of OM (middle-ear spectral gradient
angle; SGA) and children's trajectories of respiratory sinus
arrhythmia (RSA)-a marker of parasympathetic control of the
heart-between the ages of 7 and 35 months. The results
suggested that, irrespective of age, children with
indications of chronic OM (low cumulative SGA) tended to
show atypical RSA reactivity to moderate cognitive
challenge, compared with the reactivity patterns of their
low-OM-risk peers (mid-to-high cumulative SGA).
Specifically, on average, low-OM-risk children showed RSA
decreases in the context of challenge in infancy, with the
magnitude of the decline weakening and eventually changing
direction (i.e., RSA increase) by 35 months. In contrast,
those with indicators of chronic OM evinced blunted RSA
responses to challenge, irrespective of age. Within-person,
temporal bouts of OM-risk were not predictive of
within-person changes in RSA reactivity across early
childhood. (PsycINFO Database Record},

Abstract = {Substantial evidence has established that individual
differences in executive function (EF) in early childhood
are uniquely predictive of children's academic readiness at
school entry. The current study tested whether growth
trajectories of EF across the early childhood period could
be used to identify a subset of children who were at
pronounced risk for academic impairment in kindergarten.
Using data that were collected at the age 3, 4, and 5 home
assessments in the Family Life Project ( N = 1,120), growth
mixture models were used to identify 9% of children who
exhibited impaired EF performance (i.e., persistently low
levels of EF that did not show expected improvements across
time). Compared to children who exhibited typical
trajectories of EF, the delayed group exhibited substantial
impairments in multiple indicators of academic readiness in
kindergarten (Cohen's ds = 0.9-2.7; odds ratios = 9.8-23.8).
Although reduced in magnitude following control for a range
of socioeconomic and cognitive (general intelligence
screener, receptive vocabulary) covariates, moderate-sized
group differences remained (Cohen's ds = 0.2-2.4; odds
ratios = 3.9-5.4). Results are discussed with respect to the
use of repeated measures of EF as a method of early

We examined children’s task engagement during a
challenging puzzle task in the presence of their primary
caregivers by using a representative sample of rural
children from six high-poverty counties across two states.
Weighted longitudinal confirmatory factor analysis and
structural equation modeling were used to identify a task
engagement factor indicated by child positive mood,
persistence, enthusiasm, and compliance at both 24 and 35
months. Child attention and maternal responsiveness were
significantly related to child task engagement at 24 and 35
months controlling for demographic factors. Additionally, a
challenging behavior factor in children’s task-oriented
behaviors was found as indicated by child negative mood,
aggression and noncompliance. This factor was predicted by
low maternal acceptance of child behaviors. Theoretical and
practical implications are discussed.},

current study used an epidemiological sample (N=1121) to

language complexity both as time-varying covariates that
predicted time-specific indicators of EF at 36 and 60 months
of age and as time-invariant covariates that predicted
children's EF at 60 months and change in EF from 36 to 60
months. We found that the rate of change in children's
vocabulary between 15 and 36 months was associated with both
the trajectory of EF from 36 to 60 months and the resulting
abilities at 60 months. In contrast, children's language
complexity had a time-specific association with EF only at

Abstract = {© 2016 by the National Council on Family Relations.
Evidence suggests that relations between child care and
children's development-behaviorally and physiologically-likely
differ between children from high- versus low-risk contexts.
Using data from the Family Life Project (N = 1,155), the
authors tested (a) whether within- and between-child
differences in children's child care experiences (i.e.,
quantity, type, caregiver responsivity, and peer exposure)
were predictive of their cortisol levels across infancy and
toddlerhood and (b) whether these relations differed for
children experiencing different levels of environmental
risk. They found some evidence of such interactive effects.
For children from high-risk contexts, within-child increases
in child care hours were predictive of cortisol decreases.
The inverse was evident for children from low-risk contexts.
This relation grew across toddlerhood. Whereas a history of
greater center-based child care was predictive of heightened
cortisol levels for low-risk families, this was not the case
for children from high-risk families. Irrespective of risk,
greater peer exposure (between children) was associated with
lower cortisol levels.},

Abstract = {Psychosocial stressors like intimate partner violence (IPV)
exposure are associated with increased risk of childhood
asthma. Longitudinal studies have not investigated the role
of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis reactivity (and
associated alterations in cortisol release) in the child IPV
exposure-asthma association. We sought to investigate this
association, and to assess whether this relationship differs
by child HPA reactivity. This secondary analysis used
longitudinal cohort data from the Family Life Project.
Participants included 1,292 low-income children and mothers;
maternal interview and child biomarker data, including
maternal report of IPV and child asthma, and child salivary
cortisol obtained with validated stress reactivity
paradigms, were collected when the child was 7, 15, 24, 35,
and 48 months. Using structural equation modeling, maternal
IPV when the child was 7 months of age predicted subsequent
reports of childhood asthma (B=0.18, p=.002). This
association differed according to the child's HPA reactivity
status, with IPV exposed children who were HPA reactors at 7
and 15 months of age--defined as a ≥10% increase in
cortisol level twenty minutes post peak arousal during the
challenge tasks and a raw increase of at least
.02μg/dl--being significantly at risk for asthma (7 months:
B=0.17, p=.02; 15 months: B=0.17, p=.02). Our findings
provide support that children who are physiologically
reactive are the most vulnerable to adverse health outcomes
when faced with environmental stressors.},

further clarify how interparental relationships may be
related to parenting in a rural, low-income sample. The
Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM), a statistical
analysis technique that accounts for the interdependence of

non-married cohabiting African American and European
American couples (n=82dyads) to evaluate whether mothers'
and fathers' observed parenting behaviours are related to
their behaviours and their partner's behaviours observed in
a couple problem-solving interaction. Findings revealed that
interparental withdrawal behaviour, but not conflict
behaviour, was associated with less optimal parenting for
fathers but not mothers, and specifically so for African
American fathers. Our findings support the notion of
interdependence across subsystems within the family and
suggest that African American fathers may be specifically
responsive to variations in interparental relationship

level, fear, anger, regulation), which corresponded broadly
to Rothbart's distinction between reactivity and regulation,
provided an acceptable fit the observed data. Tests of
measurement invariance demonstrated that a majority of the
observational indicators exhibited comparable measurement
properties for male vs. female, black vs. white, and poor
vs. not-poor children, which improved the generalizability
of these results. Unadjusted demographic group comparisons
revealed small to moderate sized differences (Cohen
ds=|.23-.42|) in temperamental reactivity and moderate to
large sized differences (Cohen ds=-.64--.97) in regulation.
Collectively, demographic variables explained more of the
variation in regulation (R(2)=.25) than in reactivity
(R(2)=.02-.06). Follow-up analyses demonstrated that race
differences were substantially diminished in magnitude and
better accounted for by poverty. These results help to
validate the distinction between temperamental reactivity
and regulation using observational indicators.},

indicator of hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis
stress physiology. Our results showed that higher quality
care predicted more effective EF at 48 months, irrespective
of quantity or type. This relation did not vary as a
function of children's early cortisol levels. Attending
greater hours of care per week was also related to EF;
however--consistent with theory--the positive association
between spending more time in childcare and more positive EF
extended only to children with low levels of basal cortisol
at 7 or 24 months of age. Attending center-based care was

Abstract = {Using longitudinal ethnographic data on low-income rural and
urban mostly single mothers, I explore the romance-seeking
behaviors of women whose intimate relationships are
characterized by multiple-partner fertility (MPF). MPF
involves mothers and/or their love interests having
biological children with other partners, frequently in
nonmarital, transient unions. Romance comprises mothers'
feelings and social interactions related to being chosen,
erotic love, and adulation of the other. Findings indicate
most mothers selectively engaged in one of four types of
romance-seeking behaviors: casual, illusionist, pragmatic,
or strategic. Mothers' romantic actions are associated with
their desires to have loving experiences outside the
challenges of daily life in poverty and its corollary
uncertainty. Moreover, mothers involved in the most complex
forms of MPF openly compete with other women for "first
wife" status in a stratified partnering system called
rostering-a term coined by respondents in the ethnographies
reported here. Implications of these findings for future
research are discussed. © 2014 by The American Academy of

Abstract = {© 2014, © The Author(s) 2014. The current study was
designed to test hypotheses derived from an ecological
framework regarding the association between perceived racial
discrimination and maternal emotion talk among a sample of
415 African American mothers living in the rural South.
Mothers reported on experiences with racial discrimination
when her child was 24 months old. Additionally, maternal
emotion awareness was assessed by mothers’ use of emotion
words during an emotion-laden picture book interaction with
her young child. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed
that mothers’ perception of racism was a significant
positive predictor of mothers’ emotion words, even after
controlling for a variety of distal demographics and
maternal and child characteristics. However, this main
effect was qualified by significant interactions.
Specifically, the strength of the association between
perceived discrimination and mothers’ emotion words was
reduced in the presence of maternal psychological supports,
including greater life satisfaction and knowledge of child
development.},

Abstract = {Rural America is commonly viewed as a repository of virtuous
and patriotic values, deeply rooted in a proud immigrant
history of farmers and industrious working-class White
ethnics from northern Europe. These views are not always
consistent with the population and socioeconomic realities
of rural terrains. Exceptions to these stereotypes are
self-evident among large poor racial/ethnic minorities
residing in rural ghettos in the "dirty" South and among
poor Whites living in remote, mountainous areas of
Appalachia. For these disadvantaged populations,
sociocultural and economic isolation, a lack of quality
education, too few jobs, and poor health have taken a human
toll, generation after generation. Moreover, the past
several decades have brought dramatic shifts in the spatial
distribution and magnitude of poverty in these areas. And,
America's persistent racial inequalities have continued to
fester as rural communities become home to urban-origin
racial minority migrants and immigrants from Mexico and
Latin America. As a result, the face of rural America has
changed, quite literally. In this article, we address the
primary question these changes pose: How will shifting
inequalities anchored in poverty and race shape health
disparities in a "new" rural America? Guided by fundamental
cause theory, we explore the scope and sources of poverty
and race inequalities in rural America, how patterns in
these inequalities are transduced within families, and what
these inequalities mean for the future of health disparities
within and across rural U.S. terrains. Our goal is to review
and interrogate the extant literature on this topic with the
intent of offering recommendations for future research. ©

Abstract = {Mutigenerational households that include grandmothers and
adult mothers caring for grandchildren are increasingly
common. The influence, however, of mother-grandmother
relationship quality and grandmothers' parenting on
grandchildren's social development remains largely
unexplored in these three-generation households. This study
examines linkages among caregiver depressive symptoms,
mother-grandmother verbal conflict, observed parenting, and
36-month-old grandchildren's problem and prosocial behaviors
among a subsample from the Family Life Project (N = 85)
consisting of economically disadvantaged multigenerational
families. The findings suggest that mother-grandmother
relationship conflict presents a risk to children's behavior
directly and indirectly via mothers' negative parenting
behaviors. Mothers seem to be more influenced by the
mother-grandmother relationship than grandmothers. These
results highlight the importance of including
mother-grandmother conflict in mutigenerational families in
family assessments and interventions. © 2012 by the

Abstract = {In this article, we investigated low-income mothers'
involvement in multiple partner fertility (MPF)
relationships and their experiences as "othermothers" to
their romantic partners' children from previous and
concurrent intimate unions. Othermothering, as somewhat
distinct from stepmothering, involves culturally-scripted
practices of sharing parenting responsibilities with
children's biological parents. We framed this investigation
using this concept because previous research suggests that
many low-income women practice this form of coparenting in
their friend and kin networks. What is not apparent in this
literature, however, is whether women unilaterally
othermother their romantic partners' children from different
women. How often and under what circumstances do women in
nonmarital MPF intimate unions with men coparent their
partners' children from other relationships? We explored
this question using a modified grounded theory approach and
secondary longitudinal ethnographic data on 256 low-income
mostly unmarried mothers from the Three-City Study. Results
indicated that 78% of the mothers had been or were involved
in MPF unions and while most had othermothered the children
of their friends and relatives, 89% indicated that they did
not coparent their partners' children from any MPF
relationship. Mothers' reasons for not doing so were
embedded in: (a) gendered scripts around second families, or
"casa chicas"; (b) the tenuous nature of pass-through MPF
relationships; and (c) mothers' own desires for their
romantic partners to child-swap. Implications of this
research for family science and practice are
discussed.},

Abstract = {Studies have shown that distal family risk factors like
poverty and maternal education are strongly related to
children's early language development. Yet, few studies have
examined these risk factors in combination with more
proximal day-to-day experiences of children that might be
critical to understanding variation in early language. Young
children's exposure to a chronically chaotic household may
be one critical experience that is related to poorer
language, beyond the contribution of SES and other
demographic variables. In addition, it is not clear whether
parenting might mediate the relationship between chaos and
language. The purpose of this study was to understand how
multiple indicators of chaos over children's first three
years of life, in a representative sample of children living
in low wealth rural communities, were related to child
expressive and receptive language at 36 months. Factor
analysis of 10 chaos indicators over five time periods
suggested two factors that were named household
disorganization and instability. Results suggested that
after accounting for thirteen covariates like maternal
education and poverty, one of two chaos composites
(household disorganization) accounted for significant
variance in receptive and expressive language. Parenting
partially mediated this relationship although household
disorganization continued to account for unique variance in
predicting early language. © 2011 Elsevier

Title = {Talk, action, and chronic uncertainty: Rethinking marriage
and marital delay among low-income women},
Year = {2012},
Abstract = {Contemporary marriage researchers acknowledge low-income
women�s retreat from marriage, but emphasize that these
women still vaunt marriage as a common end-goal. Researchers
maintain that, rather than delay childbearing, these women
prefer to have children in the meantime and postpone
marriage until conditions are ideal. In the present paper we
unpack this paradox and argue that the situation is not
nearly as straightforward as researchers imply. Taking an
interactionist approach, we analyze cases from a
longitudinal ethnographic study of low-income rural mothers
to assess how these women talk about and act toward their
intimate relationships en route to marriage over time.
Instead of a tendency to delay marriage for idealized
reasons, we see an inherent contradiction between what these
low-income women say about marriage and what they actually
do given the instabilities and uncertainties involved in
moving toward marriage in low-income worlds.},

Abstract = {In this article, we examine variations in low-income
mothers' patterns of intermittent cohabitation and the
voluntary and involuntary nature of these unions.
Intermittent cohabitation involves couples living together
and separating in repeating cycles. Using Three-City Study
ethnographic data, we identified 45 low-income mothers
involved in these arrangements, 18 of whom resided with
their children's fathers occasionally while saying that they
were not in a cohabiting relationship. We term such
relationships living together apart (LTA). Data analysis
revealed that distinct patterns of voluntary and involuntary
separations and reunifications characterized intermittent
cohabitation and LTA and that these relationships were
shaped by the bonds that shared parenting created and the
economic needs of both parents. We argue that these
dimensions may explain some disparate accounts of
cohabitation status in low-income populations. They also
demonstrate previously unexplored diversity in cohabiting
relationships and suggest further questioning contemporary
definitions of families.},

low-income Puerto Rican mothers' housing dependencies and
their intimate partner relations. We traced mothers'
dependent housing arrangements and entrée to marital or
cohabiting relationships from their teens through their
procurement of independent housing while entering and
maintaining intimate partner unions as adults. Findings
indicated that various trigger factors led women out of
their natal homes and into expedited cohabitation with
romantic partners which frequently resulted in unstable
unions in which mothers had little power and autonomy. As
mothers became eligible for housing subsidies they obtained
housing independent from their male partners, potentially
increasing the propensity for greater relationship power.
Housing independence, however, was not without problems.
Spillover effects, such as shadowing partners, threatened
housing stability and mothers' independence. The relevance
of these findings for future research is

Abstract = {This article presents an emergent conceptual model of the
features and links between cumulative disadvantage, maternal
distress, and parenting practices in low-income families in
which parental incarceration has occurred. The model emerged
from the integration of extant conceptual and empirical
research with grounded theory analysis of longitudinal
ethnographic data from Welfare, Children, and Families: A
Three-City Study. Fourteen exemplar family cases were used
in the analysis. Results indicated that mothers in these
families experienced life in the context of cumulative
disadvantage, reporting a cascade of difficulties
characterized by neighborhood worries, provider concerns,
bureaucratic difficulties, violent intimate relationships,
and the inability to meet children's needs. Mothers,
however, also had an intense desire to protect their
children, and to make up for past mistakes. Although, in
response to high levels of maternal distress and
disadvantage, most mothers exhibited harsh discipline of
their children, some mothers transformed their distress by
advocating for their children under difficult circumstances.
Women's use of harsh discipline and advocacy was not
necessarily an "either/or" phenomenon as half of the mothers
included in our analysis exhibited both harsh discipline and
care/advocacy behaviors. Maternal distress characterized by
substance use, while connected to harsh disciplinary
behavior, did not preclude mothers engaging in positive
parenting behaviors.},

Abstract = {In the millennium's inaugural decade, 2 interrelated trends
influenced research on America's families of color: the need
for new knowledge about America's growing ethnic/racial
minority and immigrant populations and conceptual advances
in critical race theories and perspectives on colorism.
Three substantive areas reflecting researchers' interests in
these trends emerged as the most frequently studied topics
about families of color: inequality and socioeconomic
mobility within and across families, interracial romantic
pairings, and the racial socialization of children. In this
review, we synthesize and critique the decade's scholarly
literature on these topics. We devote special attention to
advances in knowledge made by family-relevant research that
incorporated ways of thinking from critical race theories
and the conceptual discourse on colorism. Copyright ©

Abstract = {Using survey data on low-income mothers in Boston, Chicago,
and San Antonio (n = 1,722) supplemented with ethnographic
data, we test 3 propositions regarding mothers' attitudes
toward childbearing, marriage, and divorce. These are drawn
from Edin & Kefalas (2005) but have also arisen in other
recent studies. We find strong support for the proposition
that childbearing outside of marriage carries little stigma,
limited support for the proposition that women prefer to
have children well before marrying, and almost no support
for the proposition that women hesitate to marry because
they fear divorce. We suggest that mothers' attitudes and
preferences in these 3 domains do not support the long delay

Abstract = {This article presents an emergent conceptual model of
childhood adultification and economic disadvantage derived
from 5 longitudinal ethnographies of children and
adolescents growing up in low-income families. Childhood
adultification involves contextual, social, and
developmental processes in which youth are prematurely, and
often inappropriately, exposed to adult knowledge and assume
extensive adult roles and responsibilities within their
family networks. Exemplar cases from the ethnographies are
integrated in the discussion to illustrate components of the
model. Four successive levels of adultification are
described: precocious knowledge, mentored-adultification,
peerification/spousification, and parentification. The
developmental assets and liabilities children incur also are
discussed. Recommendations for school, health care, and
social service practitioners working with low-income
families and children are provided. © 2007 by the National

concept of kinscription and longitudinal ethnographic data
on 149 African American, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic White

Study, we developed a model of recruitment that includes
three related processes: the search for legitimacy with
conventional fathers and partners, the consequences of
maternal advocacy for intimate relationships, and protection
of children and reduction of risks to family well-being.
Results indicate that mothers' co-opting of fathers and
father figures to support their children is shaped by men's
immigration status, the tenuous nature of romantic
relationships, and fathers' intergenerational caregiving
responsibilities. Implications for theories of coparenting

data suggest that women who have been physically or sexually
abused are substantially less likely to be married or to be
in stable, long-term cohabiting relationships. The data also
suggest that the timing and different forms of abuse may
have distinctive associations with union formation. Women
who have experienced abuse beginning in childhood,
particularly sexual abuse, are less likely to be in
sustained marriages or stable cohabiting relationships and
instead are more likely to experience transitory unions:
multiple short-term, mostly cohabiting unions with brief
intervals between them. Women who have not been abused in
childhood but experience adult physical abuse, however, are
less likely to be in either a marriage or a cohabiting
union, long-term or transitory; and some have withdrawn from
having relationships with men. The relevance of these
findings for the decline of marriage among low-income women

the relationship between urban neighborhoods and child

Abstract = {In considering the influences of microsystems on adolescent
substance use, familial and peer contexts have received the
most extensive attention in the research literature. School
and neighborhood settings, however, are other developmental
contexts that may exert specific influences on adolescent
substance use. In many instances, school settings are
organized to provide educational services to students who
share similar educational abilities and behavioral
repertoires. The resulting segregation of students into
these settings may result in different school norms for
substance use. Similarly, neighborhood resources, including
models for substance use and drug sales involvement, may
play an important role in adolescent substance use. We
briefly review literature examining contextual influences on
adolescent substance use, and present results from two
preliminary studies examining the contribution of school and
neighborhood context to adolescent substance use. In the
first investigation, we examine the impact of familial,
peer, and school contexts on adolescent substance use.
Respondents were 283 students (ages 13 to 18) from regular
and special education classrooms in six schools. Although
peer and parental contexts were important predictors of
substance use, school norms for drug use accounted for
variance in adolescent use beyond that explained by peer and
parental norms. Data from a second study of 114 adolescents
(mean age = 15) examines neighborhood contributions to
adolescent substance use. In this sample, neighborhood
indices did not contribute to our understanding of
adolescent substance use. Implications for prevention are

relationship between the surrogate parenting role of

operate as co-parents by assisting their adult children in
the rearing of their offspring, or they assume total
responsibility for providing the necessary care and
socialization their grandchildren require when their parents
cannot. The surrogate parenting responsibilities of
grandparents are hypothesized to be affected by temporal
context, which concerns the sequencing and synchronization
of the assumption of surrogate parenting responsibilities by
grandparents relative to their age, peer relationships, and

Title = {Poverty and the production of household chaos: findings from
an ethnographic study of low-income rural
mothers},
Year = {2012},
Abstract = {Household chaos has been a recent construct of interest for
developmental and psychological researchers concerned with
specifying the impact of conditions of family poverty on
child and family functioning (see Bronfenbrenner and Evans
2000; Corapci and Wachs 2002; Evans 2003, 2004; Valiente et
al. 2007; Vernon-Feagans et al., in press). This body of
research has emphasized elements of micro-environmental
chaos (e.g., household crowding; ambient background noise;
physical disorder; frenetic activity), and linked these to a
host of negative behavioral and health outcomes for
children, either directly or through the mediation of
parenting. While adding valuable knowledge, this approach
has focused largely on factors external to the individual,
and has not fully considered the contributions that
individual household actors make – in response to
constraining conditions of poverty – as negotiators of
household chaos. The present paper examines the role of the
individual actor as an active agent in the management of
chaotic household conditions. Using longitudinal
ethnographic data from the Family Life Project study of
low-income rural mothers of young children, we take a
negotiated order perspective (Fine 1984; Maines 1977, 1982)
to demonstrate ways in which features of household chaos are
negotiated and sometimes reinforced by mothers’ as they
attempt to parent, partner, and manage households under
conditions of economic and social uncertainty. Our analysis
reveals that household chaos exists in multiple domains,
including spatial (e.g., clutter; crowding), behavioral
(e.g., relationship discord; lack of routine), and temporal
(e.g., incessant time demands; frenetic activity)
dimensions. Likewise, our findings show that low-income
mothers’ efforts to minimize household chaos at times
unintentionally reproduce these conditions as these women
seek to maintain a sense of personal control within
households threatening constantly toward entropy. The data
indicate that some mothers may intentionally reject
strategies that could reduce chaos in their lives (e.g., by
planning; adhering to a schedule), because attempts to
implement these strategies are often unsuccessful, leading
to diminished feelings of self-efficacy. The current study
makes a unique contribution to understandings of how and why
household chaos exists, and illuminates its various
behavioral, spatial, and temporal dimensions in greater
detail.},

In this chapter, the authors contribute to the scholarly
discourse on poverty, ine-quality, and economic mobility
within low-income families who have children with
disabilities. Few extant studies have addressed issues of
socioeconomic mobility relative to families with children
who have disabilities. Accordingly, we employed analyses of
secondary longitudinal ethnographic data from the Three-City
Study to explore socioeconomic mobility among 31 mothers of
children with disabilities in Boston, Chicago, and San
Antonio. The authors examined two central issues that
emerged in our ethnographic data: (1) moth-ers’
aspirations regarding their socioeconomic mobility, and (2)
the barriers which make it difficult for them to reach their
mobility aspirations. The authors also considered the role
of family comorbidity and cumulative disadvantage in this
inquiry. Through our analyses of mothers’ talks regarding
socioeconomic mobility, we identified three domains of their
aspirations – work and career, education, and
intergenerational. We also identified three “barrier
bundles” – pragmatic needs, relationship and social
liabilities, and socio-emotional concerns – which
compromised mothers’ abilities to be upwardly mobile. In
essence, we found that mothers’ aspirations were not
aligned with the barriers that precluded them reaching their
goals. The authors conclude with a discussion on the
implications of this research for future
studies.},

Low-income mothers who use welfare benefits are frequently
portrayed as “faces of dependency” in the prevailing
public discourse on America’s poor. This discourse, often
anchored in race, class, and gender stereotypes, perpetuates
the assumption that mothers on welfare lack skills to employ
constructive agency in securing family resources. Scholars,
however, have suggested that their welfare program use is
embedded in complex survival strategies to make ends meet.
While such studies emphasize maternal inventiveness in
garnering necessary resources and support, this literature
devotes little attention to the costs of these strategies on
maternal power as well as how mothers negotiate gender and
the oppression that usually accompanies such support.
Feminist scholars in particular point to the importance of
exploring these issues in the contexts of mothers’
romantic unions and client–caseworker relationships.
Guided by an interpersonal, institutional, and
intersectional framework, the authors explored this issue
using longitudinal ethnographic data on 19
Mexican-immigrant, low-income mothers from the Three-City
Study. Results showed mothers negotiated gender and power by
simultaneously “doing,” “undoing,” and/or
“redoing” gender using three strategies that emerged
from the data: symbolic reliance, selective reliance, and
creative nondisclosure. Implications of these findings for
the future research are discussed.},

Abstract = {How low-income single mothers and nonresidential fathers
sort out responsibilities for taking care of their children
remains a keen policy interest in American society.
Unfortunately, we have limited insight into how lowincome
single mothers acquire resources for their families
(Dominguez and Watkins 2003). We also have limited insight
into how nonresidential fathers maintain involvement with
unmarried mothers and their children (Carlson, McLanahan,
and England 2004; Waller and McLanahan 2005). Maternal
gatekeeping has been used by researchers as a blanket
concept to identify most efforts by mothers to shape men's
involvement with their children. Gatekeeping has emerged
from studies with a primary focus on coresidential, married
couples, most of whom are middle class and European American
(Allen and Hawkins 1999; DeLuccie 1995; see Fagan and
Barnett 2003 for exception). The term is primarily used to
indicate mothers' exclusion of fathers' involvement,
including motivations to discourage or deflect men's
interactions with children. However, Pleck and Masciadrelli
(2004) note that most gatekeeping studies link
discouragement of paternal involvement only to mothers'
attitudes, and rarely to actual family processes and
behaviors. In previous research (Roy and Burton 2007), we
identified a specific family process: "kinwork," or the work
that mothers do to maintain family members' commitments that
promote children's well-being. Mothers create a set of
family scripts that guide social expectations and lead to
efficiency and consistency in taking care of family
responsibilities (Byng-Hall 1985). This kinscripts framework
(Stack and Burton 1993) situates women's work within complex
family relationships over time and serves as an alternative
approach to the gatekeeping concept. The framework also
shifts the focus of study from mother-father relationships
to extrafamilial relationships that "regenerate families,
maintain lifetime continuities, sustain intergenerational
responsibilities, and reinforce shared values" (Stack and
Burton 1993, 160; see also Crosbie-Burnett and Lewis 1999;
DiLeonardo 1987). Kinscripts become critical when mothers
make decisions to create or dissolve supportive networks for
the daily survival and social mobility of their families
(Hansen 2005; Nelson 2000, 2005; Stack 1974). They are
crafted as accepted standards of behavior that family
members must favorably meet as dedicated kinworkers. Mothers
may recruit a range of men (e.g., biological fathers,
boyfriends, non-intimate friends, and paternal and maternal
kin) for involvement if those men fulfill basic kinwork
expectations. For most fathers, for example, an established
standard is that they accept responsibility for their
biological children by contributing resources or time to
improve children's life chances in economically
disadvantaged communities. Family members often hold
time-proven mental representations of low-income fathers as
"renegade relatives" whose transitions in residences,
relationships, and employment put low-income families at
risk for loss of resources, conflict, and abuse (Edin and
Kefalas 2005; Sano 2004; Stack 1974; Waller and Swisher
2006). However, focused recruitment of men into kinwork
roles potentially enhances families as well. Men provide
financial resources for their children (Gibson, Edin, and
McLanahan 2005; Kotchick, Dorsey, and Heller 2005; Mincy,
Garfinkel, and Nepomnyaschy 2005; Roy 1999) even through the
simple act of paternity establishment and through the
subsequent contributions of fathers' own kin (Stack 1974).
Low-income single mothers seek from fathers not only
guidance for their children but also emotional support or
trustworthy caregiving (Jarrett, Roy, and Burton 2002; Roy,
Tubbs, and Burton 2004). What is underexplored in research
on recruitment, however, is how mothers gather information
to make decisions about recruiting fathers, and how they
monitor those fathers once they are recruited. In this
chapter, we consider how the work of surveillance is
particularly relevant as mothers create or dissolve family
membership. This type of monitoring differs from formal
surveillance by public organizations, as it is rooted in
surveillance of the "borders" of role relationships (Marx
2007). Personal data about fathers may be at the core of
mothers' "thin" surveillance methods, especially if
unemployment histories, physical mobility, and past
experiences (e.g., incarceration, gang activity, and drug
use) determine whether men are appropriate parents (Torpey
2007; Zuriek 2007). Moreover, both the ongoing process of
monitoring and the act of recruitment bring power into play
in family relationships, especially when information on
men's behavior leads mothers to let go of them as family
members. In this chapter, we return to our previous analyses
(Roy and Burton 2007) to expand on how monitoring shapes
"kinscription" (i.e., the recruiting of kin for specific
work within a family). We explore low-income single mothers'
monitoring and subsequent recruitment of men as open-ended
and contested processes, inclusive of these multiple family
needs and multiple actors. We examine monitoring as an
ongoing process that forms the basis for initial recruitment
and continuing validation of men's positive involvement with
children. We define recruitment as the negotiation of
connections with a range of men (biological fathers,
boyfriends, non-intimate friends, and paternal and maternal
kin) in order to improve children's life chances in
economically disadvantaged communities. In short, paternal
monitoring and recruitment are critical dimensions of
mothers' efforts at kinscription and efforts to be "good
mothers. © 2009 by Vanderbilt University Press. All rights
