问题: B.lack of control over time?

The cohesiveness of a family seems to rely on members sharing certain routine practices and events。For a growing share of the American labor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hours---what we here call “shiftwork”---makes the lives of families difficult.
Existing research shows that both male and female shiftworkers express high levels of stress
and a sense of conflict between the demands of work and family life.But shiftwork couples still maintain a traditional attitude about the meaning of marriage and the individual roles of husband and wife.They expressed a willingness to do“whatever it takes”to approximate their view of a proper marriage,including sacrificing sleep and doing conventional things at unconventional hours. For the majority of couples interviewed---even when wives worked outside their homes a proper marriage is characterized by a very clear division of roles:husbands are “ providers”whose major responsibility is to support the family;wives are “homemakers”who clean,cook,and care for husbands and children.
