Data from time diaries kept by parents in two-parent, two-child families in four states in 1977 and 1978 were used to examine time shared by parents and children, as well as parent solitary rimes, in a number of household activities. The analysis focuses on how the mother's employment time affects shared parent-child time and whether the rime was sex-typed. In addition, a weak rest for whether parent-child shared time stimulates children's human capital development;was devised and the hypothesis confirmed. Mothers who spent more time in market work shared less traditionally defined child-care time, but only with the older child. In contrast, as a mother's time in market work increased, parent-child shared housework and shared leisure time increased, Household activities shared by the parent and the child were sex-typed. Mothers tended to share more time with daughters in meal preparation and family-care activities, and fathers tended to share more time with their sons in activities involving the home, yard, car and pet maintenance and in shopping activities.
