Research on the well-being of children in same-sex families has proliferated over the past decade. Nevertheless, almost no research has focused on the impact that parenthood has on gay and lesbian parents who are raising children. This study aims to provide greater knowledge on the well-being of parents in same-sex families while also stimulating greater research efforts devoted to this important issue. As part of these efforts, we investigate the question of whether the time loss associated with caring for children has a greater impact on the amount of time gay and lesbian parents spend in self-care activities (e.g., sleep, socializing) that are linked to well-being than it does for parents in heterosexual relationships. Using data from the American Time Use Surveys (2003–2015) and a nationally representative sample, we find preliminary evidence that gay fathers suffer greater losses in time in self-care than fathers in heterosexual families, but lesbian mothers suffer fewer losses in self-care than mothers in heterosexual families.

在过去的十年中，关于同性家庭儿童福祉的研究激增。然而，几乎没有研究关注父母身份对抚养孩子的同性恋父母的影响。这项研究旨在提供更多关于同性家庭中父母幸福的知识，同时也激发更多致力于这一重要问题的研究工作。作为这些努力的一部分，我们调查了与照顾孩子相关的时间损失是否对同性恋父母花在自我照顾活动（例如睡眠、社交）上的时间有更大的影响，这些活动与以下方面有关：比异性恋关系中的父母更幸福。使用来自美国时间使用调查（2003-2015）和全国代表性样本的数据，
