Abstract

This chapter outlines how the fathers in the study often felt out-of-place within daytime spaces, experienced difficulties interacting with other parents, and were sometimes isolated on the days they cared for their children alone. Comparing these findings with existing literature, the authors explore the reasons why caregiving fathers tend to stay at home alone with their children and the implications for their own well-being and for the prospects of broader take-up by men of shared care arrangements. While fathers themselves commonly individualised the issue by putting their isolation down to their own introverted nature, the authors’ analysis suggests more collective and structural factors were at play. The chapter explores the implications of these findings for some of the themes raised in previous chapters of the book, including their impact on the establishment of ‘interchangeable’ parental identities and the development of the men’s fatherly care horizons – suggesting that, for many although not all of our fathers, while experiences within the home were largely positive, parenting outside the home and in daytime public spaces presented a challenge.
白天与其他父母隔离
本章概述了研究中的父亲在白天的空间里经常感到不适应,与其他父母互动困难,有时在独自照顾孩子的日子里被孤立。将这些发现与现有文献进行比较,作者探讨了照顾孩子的父亲倾向于独自呆在家里的原因,以及对他们自己的幸福和男性更广泛地接受共同照顾安排的前景的影响。虽然父亲们自己通常把这个问题个人化,把他们的孤立归结为自己内向的性格,但作者的分析表明,更多的集体和结构性因素在起作用。这一章探讨了这些发现对书中前几章提出的一些主题的影响,包括它们对“可互换”父母身份的建立和男性父亲关怀视野的发展的影响——这表明,对许多(尽管不是全部)父亲来说,虽然在家中的经历基本上是积极的,但在家外和白天的公共场所养育孩子却是一个挑战。
