According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, around 61 percent of families with children have both parents working outside the home. When the youngest child is at least six years old, the number rises to nearly 6 percent for families. However, if the youngest child is under the age of six years old, the number decreases to about 56%.
Working parents face a variety of challenges. Although juggling daycare and schedules top the list, they also struggled to find time with each other and their children. It's often a balancing act that necessitates excellent communication skills, patience,, and a lot of love.
Working parents are often divided between home and work. Parents work opposite hours most days, so there's always a parent home with children. As a result, the adults seldom spend any time alone. They're always on the go, like many other working parents. Everyone has their own roles, as well as others. If one of the children is sick, each takes turns staying home. School activities and other special events are carefully planned. That's how working parents make it all come together.
