abstract: 'This paper uses the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to examine children''s

  involvement with their fathers in intact families as measured through

  time spent together. Our findings suggest that although mothers still

  shoulder the lion''s share of the parenting, fathers'' involvement

  relative to that of mothers appears to be on the increase. A ``new

  father{''''} role is emerging on weekends in intact families. Different

  determinants of fathers'' involvement were found on weekdays and on

  weekends. Fathers'' wages and work hours have a negative relationship

  with the time they spend with a child on weekday''s, but not on weekends.

  Mothers'' work hours have no effect on children''s time with fathers. On

  weekends, Black fathers were found to be less involved and Latino

  fathers more involved with their children than are White fathers. The

  weekday-weekend differential suggests that a simple gender inequality

  theory is not sufficient in explaining the dynamics of household

  division of labor in today''s American families.'
