3 steps successful couples take to balance work and life - Business Insider

How can we make this work?

There are many different approaches to parenting, all of which can produce well-adjusted kids if mindfully adopted. Some of us want to be involved in all aspects of our children's lives, others prefer a more hands-off approach and value the early development of independence. Some of us want our extended families to be intimately involved in raising our children, others prefer a nuclear family approach.

Working parents who do well often adopt a "divide and conquer" strategy. That is, they claim responsibility for different aspects of parenting. This clarity makes it less likely for things to fall through the cracks because both parents assumed the other was taking responsibility for a certain task. It also means that both parents benefit from the joys of being invested in their children's lives.

The truth is, all parents need a support network — working or not. When we have a solid support network, it reduces our anxiety, allows us to give ourselves fully to our work when we are at the office, and makes us more relaxed parents.
