Abstract
Student parents experience stress as they balance multiple roles. This research investigates the moderating role of parent gender in the relationship between parent stress and distress in the parent-child relationship. Results indicate that, compared to mothers, fathers who report higher personal vulnerability experience greater distress in their relationship with their children. Implications are discussed.
