Making Time for Children

According to a recent government study, twenty-five percent of British parents have their working life over the last ten years to more time with their family. Some have gone part-time, others have changed their career path, for example by choosing small family-friendly employers. Working mothers and fathers often take turns looking their children. As a result, even though they are spending more time with them, especially part in educational activities, time shared by the whole family — both parents and the children — is increasingly scarce. Children see of their parents as a couple and this puts a strain on the .

However, even with the pressures of juggling work and life, parents who work are more likely to stay together, because financial problems are one of the worst strains a relationship can experience.

The study also finds that though most parents now declare they wish to share the workload of child rearing, many to achieve the ideal. Women still shoulder the bulk of the housework.
