  abstract = {<p>Despite the good reasons in which poor health could impede parenting, relatively little research considers this possibility. This study uses data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study (N = 3,376) and propensity score matching to examine the relationship between maternal and paternal health limitations{\textemdash}health conditions that limit the amount or type of work one can do{\textemdash}and mother- and father-reported parenting stress, cooperation in parenting, and engagement with children. First, the authors find that mothers{\textquoteright} and fathers{\textquoteright} health limitations are associated with greater parenting stress. Second, they find evidence of spillover associations; when compared with their counterparts, parents with health limitations report that their child{\textquoteright}s other parent exhibits less cooperation. Third, they find that the associations between health and parenting are not moderated by parents{\textquoteright} coresidential status. Taken together, these findings inform the stress process perspective and its implications for family life.</p>
