Daily Life Is a Story of Diplomacy Under Stress

Eighty-five percent of women and 83% of men say they negotiate the rules of relationships and family life more than previous generations. Asked how often they and their spouse or partner coordinate schedules, duties and responsibilities, 44% of men and 35% of women said every day, while more than a quarter of both men and women said two or three times a week. Younger people report more frequent stress in their daily life than older people (43% for 18-to-29-year-olds vs. 21% for those over age 65). Forty-six percent of working women report frequent stress, compared with 31% of non-working women.
