Problem:
How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? Research suggests that lesbian mothers who have divorced their heterosexual partners differ little from heterosexual mothers in terms of self-concept, general happiness, and overall adjustment (Goldberg, 2010; Patterson, 2017). We know less about divorced gay fathers because only a small minority of these men are granted custody of their children or live with them (Patterson, 2017). Most of our knowledge about gay and lesbian parenting comes from studies of same-sex couples who choose to become parents. Research comparing these families with heterosexual families finds that gay and lesbian parents tend to share household duties more equally than do heterosexual couples (Solomon et al., 2004). Nevertheless, in lesbian families, the biological mother tends to be more involved in childcare and the nonbiological mother spends longer hours in paid employment. Similarly gay dads are more likely to share childcare and household duties than heterosexual couples (Goldberg & Allen, 2013). As in heterosexual families, when both partners share in the childcare tasks, they are more satisfied and their children are better adjusted (Patterson & Farr, 2011). Need Assignment Help?
