Fifty years ago, the kinkeeper in a typical family was most likely to be a middle-aged mother. This is because at the time, women were still primarily responsible for household and caregiving duties, including maintaining family relationships and serving as a central point of contact for family members. While other family members may have also played a role in this, the mother was typically seen as the primary kinkeeper.
