The informants stated how everyday they generally, on a day-to-day basis, had to cope with demands arising from all fronts:

I have to cope with everything. I think you really have to cope with the demands of your children and the demands of your partner, cope with the demands of the outside world, and the demands of your children. (Kate)

Cynthia often coped on her own for 6 weeks at a time while her husband was away at work. She also felt like she had to balance her outside commitments with home demands:

I think primarily, because Stephen goes away it’s different, because he goes away for 6 weeks, I really am doing the finances, and I find that a bit of a burden. Running around, it doesn’t sound like much, but just trying to keep the house tidy, the bills paid, just functioning on a basic level. And then trying to maintain relationships outside of family, I guess that’s what’s led to the voluntary work. I find that’s a dilemma, am I using my energy up on others outside the family and are my immediate family being short-changed?
