It is really a great skill to balance work and family life. I found some valuable tips at a site..I'm giving them here so that they can help you.
Explore options: Take a look at everything you are doing, the number of hours you are working, the other responsibilities you have taken on, the demands of the house and of course, the responsibility for your child. Include in this conversation a look at your family’s budget.
Remember also, that it is important for you to have some family time where you are focusing simply on baby, self or partner. Babies have their own special pace and communication system. Slowing down, getting on “baby time” and on baby’s level will allow you to reconnect in significant ways and to join your baby in seeing the world from his perspective.
Most parents never find a moment in which they feel perfectly caught up on all the things they expect themselves to do. If you consider this a normal state you can learn to relax about it. Balance isn’t something you necessarily find as a parent, it is something you are always moving towards. One week you will get lots of good things done at work and the house will be a wreck. The next week, you will leave work early to spend some extra time picking your child up at childcare and hanging out at home. The following week, you might arrange a time for yourself to exercise, but you have to leave your desk a mess and the dishes undone. Balance doesn’t happen in any one instant, but it can happen in the long run.
