#childcare-responsibilities

It's late. I want to go to bed, but instead I'm picking up popsicle sticks and wrappers. I was always taught to leave the place better than I found it. I'm not expecting anyone to fold laundry or scrub floors. But I do expect the mess made during the evening to be taken care of, especially when my kids have been asleep for over two hours.

The researchers monitored 142 non-parents while they slept and recorded how often they woke up in response to the sound of a baby crying.
