i know its too late to give u ne help but ooooooooooowell.

achieving a balance between family and work...

mum and dad can divide up the time they spend @ work. e.g. mum might work part time and dad full time. my mum and dad are nurses and when we were little, mum would do the day shift and dad would do the night shift. this was so there would always be some1 @ home, looking after us.

TIME MANAGEMENT: simply fitting the activities that need to be done around work. e.g. waking up early to make sure the kids g2 school on time, slotting in their activities such as sport/music around housework and homework. making sure u have time for ur partner by arranging fun nites out, making sure u get a rest.

COMMUNICATION: making sure u partner is easily accessible and can be contacted @ all times, understanding where he is coming from, talking to him about the stresses of work vs family and seeking the best help. its also important that the mum has social contact with other parents. e.g she could take her kids to playgroup on her days off from work, that way the kid has the opportunity to mix and socialise with other kids (IMPORTANT!!! for the socialisation process of children and helps to prepare them for school!) and have the friendship and support that comes from the other parents.


hope this helped u and even if it didnt, the other CAFS-ers.
