A JUGGLING ACT FOR DUAL-EARNER COUPLES FOR THEM FAMILY. WORK ROLES ARE INTERWOVEN

It's an hour before dawn and the outlines of the mountain behind Rick and Barbara Mauntel's Phoenix home haven't yet emerged from the darkness.

But he already has showered, dressed for work, read the paper and had coffee. At 6 a.m. he awakens Jeffrey, 4, and Jillian, 2. As Barbara Mauntel gets ready for work, her husband dresses the kids and makes them breakfast, then drops them at a day-care center before heading for his job as a project manager at Motorola.
