This study explored how the participants have formed intergeneric relationships tending toward equity, and how they conciliate their participation in family life and in the workplace. We report the findings related to their participation in domestic work, labour, childcare and in their whole social personal practice. Participants were 10 heterosexual couples residents of Mexico City, between 29 and 53 years old with college degree and professional job, with or without children. The area of housework was the most reluctant to transformation directed to equity. Two central issues were the central place given by women to their professional labour and need of both to reconcile their identities as individuals, couples and parents.

Palabras llave : domestic work; extra-domestic work; identities conciliation; heterosexual couples; equity.
