The life of young working class mothers in Sweden

Summary, in English

Which are the features marking modern motherhood? Our attempts to answer this are based on an investigation among young working-class mothers. Our focus is norms pertaining to the relation between mother and child. Some of these seem distinctly subcultural working-class norms, while others are supposed to be more general. However, norms here presented are held to be the marks of young families, in contrast to older ones. According to these norms children should be in the focus of spending, of demands and of mothers' attention, briefly, in the "psychological center" of mothers. In spite of--or rather because of--this, mothers make conscious attempts to maintain a boundary against their children's becoming the be-all and end-all of their mothers' lives. To working-class mothers this consists primarily infixing a boundary in a physical sense. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
