Abstract
VICTORIA CLARKE, CAROLE BURGOYNE and MAREE BURNS with the latest contribution to the Society’s ‘Year
of Relationships’. MR Smith arrives home after a long day at the office – ‘Hi, honey, I’m home.’ Mrs Smith greets him with a peck on the cheek, his slippers and a glass of whisky. Mr Smith sits in front of the fire drinking his whisky and reading the newspaper while Mrs Smith puts the final touches to their evening meal in the kitchen. This is clearly no longer the typical picture of heterosexual marriage (if it ever was), but a gendered division of labour where a male (main) breadwinner and a female
responsible for the home and childcare is the predominant pattern. In this article we explore what happens in relationships when these ‘off-the-shelf’ roles are not
available.
