We investigated experiences of mothers of school-age children in Central New York during a time of remote education due to COVID-19. We extend the concept of intensive mothering, characterized by the expectation that mothers are constantly available to meet their children's needs, and examine mothers’ intersectional identities related to their experience of remote education. Mothers working from home often went back and forth between work and school in what we refer to as a simultaneous shift. Essential workers were engaged in a sequential shift, engaging with children's schoolwork after work and trading off with partners. Mothers took on multiple roles during the pandemic which led to role strain. In extreme cases, multiple roles could be impossible to fill, leading to a situation of role conflict where the demands of one role made it impossible to meet the needs of another role. Mothers of children of color experienced more negative interactions with schools than White mothers. Mothers of children with disabilities spent extended time on remote schooling. A limitation of our study is that we only interviewed people in Central New York and cannot generalize the results of our research to a larger population. Another limitation to our approach was that we have little information on how fathers experienced work and overseeing children's schoolwork. Future research should examine how mothering may have changed after children returned to school.

冠状病毒时期的强化母爱

我们调查了纽约州中部学龄儿童的母亲在因新冠肺炎 (COVID-19) 疫情而接受远程教育期间的经历。我们扩展了强化母爱的概念,其特点是期望母亲能够随时满足孩子的需求,并研究母亲与其远程教育经历相关的交叉身份。在家工作的母亲经常在工作和学校之间来回走动,我们称之为同步轮班。重要工作人员实行轮班制,下班后处理孩子的功课并与合作伙伴进行权衡。在大流行期间,母亲扮演了多种角色,这导致了角色紧张。在极端情况下,多个角色可能无法填补,从而导致角色冲突的情况,即一个角色的需求无法满足另一个角色的需求。有色人种孩子的母亲与学校的负面互动比白人母亲更多。残疾儿童的母亲花了很长时间进行远程教育。我们研究的一个局限性是我们只采访了纽约中部的人们,不能将我们的研究结果推广到更大的人群。我们方法的另一个限制是,我们对父亲如何工作和监督孩子的学业的信息知之甚少。
