Extended family support is very helpful. Take time for yourself. Another challenge working families face is time management. Studies consistently show that working mothers manage time by reducing their sleep and eliminating their personal time. Employed mothers have virtually no free time for themselves.
Men are more likely than women to engage in leisure or sports activities.
This imbalance may arise when the husband has personal time that his wife wants, but cannot take, resulting in resentment. Taking time for ourselves can be a critical source of renewal. Take time for your children. Children need guidance, love, nurturing and discipline. It is important for parents to attend school and other activities with them.
