The burden of “unpaid digital care work” was “intense, constant and unyielding, and it takes a physical and emotional toll on mothers,” a small study found.
in the journal New Media & Society, an Australian researcher reviewed existing literature and then interviewed 17 mothers of 9- to 16-year-olds to learn more about what she calls “unpaid digital care work.”
The mothers, all heterosexual co-parents, intervened in their children’s use of technology, performing work that was “intense, constant and unyielding, and takes a physical and emotional toll on mothers.” They spoke about expending considerable energy on their kids’ digital use, stressing over the potential risk of online engagement, scams and other dangers, and establishing rules and boundaries about how their children use computers and phones.
Despite the frustrations and labor associated with overseeing digital media use, many told the researcher they saw the phone as a way to stay in touch with their children and keep them safe and occupied. But this “digital umbilical cord” could provoke anxiety, too, as when children failed or refused to respond to text messages or forgot their phones.
