12 Quotes by Barbara Schneider

Work plays a significant role in the lives of working families, not only in the amount of time they spend at work but also with their attitudes toward work and how these attitudes and expectations spill over to the home, Overworking is very pervasive, but parents don't have the mechanisms to put the brakes on.

Working parents are taking work home and not necessarily being compensated for it. The number of hours parents are spending on work is astronomical.

Certainly, parents are very fortunate to be parents, to have children and to be employed. But we have to find a better way to make our lives balanced.

There are no quick fixes. But we need to work together to make our lives more livable and to make our children and ourselves more successful as people.

It isn't just a problem of the employee, it's a workplace problem that requires people to work together to make flex-time a real option that doesn't have negative repercussions with respect to job security and promotion. Rearranging work schedules to make people's lives more reasonable should be a desirable option.

Our lives are busy, but we have to find time to enjoy our family's company and share experiences. When parents and children do things together, it can relieve stress.

Spending time together seems to be an antidote to these issues of stress. People's sense of well-being is elevated when they spend time together as a family.

When men and women multi-task, they don't feel good. And their stress can impact the entire family.

There will be times when work might interfere with your family's schedule. But don't miss important activities in your children's lives.
