| Recruiting and engaging parents/carers is challenging, and engaging parents / carers of adolescents is harder still. While there are three dominant patterns that characterize fathers' home-work balances, all of the fathers fall under the weight of community scrutiny for being primary caregivers and not primary breadwinners, thus confirming research that has argued that mothers' and fathers' "moral" responsibilities as carers and earners remain differently framed and experienced (Berk, 1985; Finch & Mason, 1993; McMahon, 1995). Carers were sought who had been involved in, or witnessed, interactions with formal service providers, who lived in south central Ontario, and who spoke English. |
