Abstract

In responding to the editor’s invitation to “consider the inherent difficulty of communicating about our differing life-realms of experience (e.g., public-private, work-family, work-life, personal-professional, etc.),” I propose some avenues for enlarging the themes of research on work-personal life relationships by bringing children into the foreground as subjects. I explore (a) the meaning and experience of time in children’s everyday lives as well as (b) children’s performance of unpaid labor in their households.
