“…It is worth noting that being in a committed relationship and showing cooperation within the parental couple [63,65,70] was associated with reduced parenting stress. Couples' cooperation allows the sharing of the burden and difficulties associated with the whole fostering situation as well as that associated with the rearing and supporting of foster children, who are likely to not only have already faced parenting challenges but also show increased emotional and psychosocial difficulties [45,52,57,84,85].…”

“…Notwithstanding this, path analysis results [65,70], specifically accounting for the association between the level of cooperation within the parental couple and parenting stress, showed that cooperation (which implies greater perceived helpfulness and shared responsibility in child-rearing between the parental couple) was associated with lower parenting stress [65,70]. Yet, when specifically accounting for gender differences related to the commonalities and interdependence between foster mothers' and fathers' parenting stress, actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) results showed that while foster fathers' parenting stress was influenced both by their perceived level of a cooperating relationship and the foster mother's stress, foster mothers' parenting stress was influenced by their perceived level of a cooperating relationship only [70]. Gabler and colleagues [60] did not investigate gender differences in foster parents' parenting stress but investigated the effect of the partner's parenting stress on the one experienced by the parent classified as the "main caregiver", regardless of them being the foster mother or father.…”
