Abstract This
paper uses data from the 2010 American Time Use Survey which includes five
subjective well being questions about three moments in the respondent's day.
This one day recall data in conjunction with a full time diary has been shown to
be very similar to immediate responses about emotions. We use the emotions data
to specifically explore the question if women “like” doing child caregiving more
than men as some other studies have claimed. More generally, we compare the
subjective well being of men and women’s daily lives and find some strong
continuities between men and women and some important differences. The title
comes from a popular children's song.
