Work-family arrangements and parenting: Are "family-friendly" arrangements related to mothers' involvement in children's lives?

Article Abstract:

An attempt is made to investigate whether work-family arrangements are quantitatively related to aspects of parenting considered to be important in promoting children's well-being, including parenting behaviors and time spent with children. Mothers' responses to open-ended questions demonstrate that a focus on standard parenting measures obscured some relationships between work-family arrangements and aspects of parenting that are important to mothers.
