This paper analyses the gendered expectations of time of Spanish middle-class parents. The main goal is to understand how parents value their parenting time. Parents embody a specific social structuring of the everyday that is both gendered and individualist. The claim of this paper is that the value of parenting time, despite being expressed in individual terms, is shaped by gendered social expectations. The methodological strategy includes the conduction of semi-structured interviews and participatory photography. The qualitative sample is composed of 28 professional parents with children under three living in Barcelona. The results reveal gendered time expectations happen outside negotiation. They are not a strategic outcome, but the relational consequence of the structured value of time in capitalist societies.

本文分析了西班牙中产阶级父母对时间的性别期望。主要目标是了解父母如何重视他们的育儿时间。父母体现了日常生活中特定的社会结构，既具有性别特征又具有个人主义特征。本文主张，尽管以个人的方式表达，养育时间的价值却是由性别社会期望决定的。方法策略包括进行半结构化访谈和参与式摄影。定性样本由 28 位居住在巴塞罗那、有 3 岁以下儿童的职业父母组成。结果表明，性别化的时间预期发生在谈判之外。它们不是战略结果，而是资本主义社会时间结构价值的相关结果。
