abstract: 'BackgroundEmployment participation of mothers of young children has

  steadily increased in developed nations. Combining work and family roles

  can create conflicts with family life, but can also bring enrichment.

  Work-family conflict and enrichment experienced by mothers may also

  impact children''s home environments via parenting behaviour and the

  couple relationship, particularly in the early years of parenting when

  the care demands for young children is high.

  MethodsIn order to examine these associations, while adjusting for a

  wide range of known covariates of parenting and relationship quality,

  regression models using survey data from 2151 working mothers of 4- to

  5-year-old children are reported.

  Results/ConclusionResults provided partial support for the predicted

  independent relationships between work-family conflict, enrichment and

  indicators of the quality of parenting and the couple relationship.'
