The second shift is the household chores which include shopping, cooking, paying bills; taking care of the car, garden, yard and her only child Joey, even tolerating Evan’s mother who is overly concerned of the neighbor and everyone. Nancy mentions the fine tuning of the outside job and the home and the associated feelings involved in the family (Hochschild 1990).
