Extracted text: Statement True or False Taking on a parental role is very stressful in part because parents may idealize the role and are underprepared for its reality. Contemporary parents may have heightened stress when transitioning to the parental role due to poor social support, at the level of legislative policy, for parenthood. During the transition to parenthood, there are usually very few changes related to work roles or relationships with friends and family. The higher a new mother's expectation that the household and childcare division of labor will be equitable, the more dissatisfied she is with the martial relationship if and when it traditionalizes after the addition of a child to a family.
