Drawing on mixed content analysis of newspaper articles, the article investigates the representation of family, children, and parenting practices in news stories about making shared residency (SR) a law. Opponents of SR used the traditional model of parenting and family to evoke the dangerous, ideal, privatised family; the at-risk child; the dangerous and inadequate father; and the at-risk mother. Drawing on egalitarianism, supporters portrayed the egalitarian, unequal, changing family; the relational, rights-bearing child; the discriminated, caring, reconstructed father; and the dangerous, change-resistant, overburdened mother.
