In the article, "Why Moms Time is Different from Dads Time," there is a discussion of how dads are using there time and how moms use there time in the modern household. The author is showing what men do in the house and what women do in the house.
In the passage, the author, Ellen Weinstein, says, "She didn't really care that her husband did the dishes after dinner. Sure, it was swell of him, and she had friends whose husbands did less. But what she really wanted, at that point in her day, was for her husband to volunteer to put the kids to bed." In households, as long as kids are present, the wives like when the husbands help with the children. When husbands are doing things to try to please the wives, sometimes can not be so pleasing.
The article also says, "...which asks thousands of Americans annually to chronicle how they spend their days—men and women now work roughly the same number of hours a week (though men work more paid hours, and women more unpaid)." In the text, you see that men usually work more weekly hours than women do. This means that wives spend more time at home doing tasks like taking out the trash and doing the dishes. Husbands should do there part in helping with the children.
In the middle of the discussion, the author writes, " Women may work fewer paid hours than men, but because they devote nearly twice as much time to family care (housework, child care, shopping), it doesn't look to women like their husbands are sharing the load evenly when they're all home together." The men in the households work more so they become tired faster at home. Wives are at home more or out running around shopping and get tired just as well. This becomes a problem because both husband and wife do not understand how tired each one is.
This connects to gender roles by showing what point of view you get from females and males. Males see wives and home and just around and about while they are at work bringing in the money. Females see husbands at work and away from the house. The wives see that the husbands are away more resulting in less time helping around the house and with children in the house.
In conclusion, seeing what differences between moms and dads, households seem to work out in ways you can not imagine unless you have been there and done that. How will you spend your time as a mother or a father?

In the article, "Study finds that speeding saves little time, costs big bucks," on the Fox News website, states that driving over the speed limit by five miles an hour can cost you over forty dollars more a month in gas. The main idea of this article is to show what little driving habits effect your financial problems.
In the text, the author says, "the employee traveled at an average highway speed of 70 miles per hour (5 mph over the speed limit in their home state of California). Automatic determined those few extra miles per hour resulted in financial pain: The employee paid $46 more per month in gas than other Subaru Outback drivers, while only saving about four minutes per hour of driving." This goes back to show driving just five miles over the speed limit costs more bucks. I drive over the speed limit by about five miles and notice the same results.
You also see the author say, "...your real-world fuel economy greatly depends on your driving habits and the condition of your car. How fast you like to go, how hard you accelerate, how well your tires are inflated and how much extra weight you have with you can all affect gas mileage." All cars are different and have different fuel mileages. Depending on the way you drive, your car fits your driving habits. By driving slow and easy, you will see that your monthly gas bill will decrease.
The author then says, "It shows that, if you have a lead foot, you're going to end up paying for it at the pump while not saving a whole lot of time." In this piece of evidence, you see that driving fast and accelerating hard does not help your gas mileage. You spend more time stopping to get gas then on the go resulting in taking the same amount of time.
This relates to the different gender types by the different driving habits between male and female. Statistics show in the article, "Driving Performance and Behaviors," that females drive more than males in a weeks time. Females tend to accelerate faster than males do when driving.
In conclusion, if you speed within five miles over, are you saving gas? What kind of driving habits do you have and how can you make your gas bill go down?
