Abstract | Discusses the relationship between offspring gender and caregiving by older mothers. Findings, based on interviews with 235 caregivers, indicate that mothers were less likely to use day services for their daughters and that mothers with daughters were more likely to feel burdened by caregiving and expressed a need to be constantly vigilant.
