Somehow missed that #MaaikeHornstra's final dissertation chapter is out in
#SexRoles. We use the #OKiN survey to examine #kinkeeping involvement across parents & how these practices are related to parent-child closeness.

A few key findings:
1) #kinkeeping - the work needed to build & maintain family ties - is primarily done by women, irrespective of their biological tie to the child. In fact, when involved, #stepmothers are engaged in more kinkeeping activities than any type of father (as shown in attached figure).
2) we found that when a spouse takes an active role in #kinkeeping, it can foster ties between parents & children. For example, a #stepmother who helps with kin-work may facilitate closer ties between separated biological fathers and their children.
3) #2 echoes - for example - the qualitative work of #MariaSchmeeckle published in #JMF which highlights the active role which a #stepmother plays in facilitating contact & inclusion between herself, her husband, & the involved children (his & hers).
And yes, I might have spent some of the time editing the article proofs humming #Labour of #parispaloma...
