Today, in many parts of the world, work and family mean A Complicated Relationship. We have a lot of responsibilities and obligations, for example, family is a responsibility and work is an obligation, but what happens when the time is not enough? It is very difficult to balance work-family relationship, lack of time and fatigue is the cause of this bad relationship, because in many instances we feel confused about our priorities, many times we think we live to work, but are we right? Although the family can coincide to work, it is really difficult and unlikely; we must try to organize our free times. Although we prepared from young to work, the family will always be the most important and certainly we will have in our lives, in contrast, work is not permanent and no insurance. We can always count with our family. “Artificial separation of work and family, this means to increased stress and decreased productivity in the company because, while performing their jobs, workers are uneasy about the functions of assistance should be provided in their homes. And this, in turn, leads to a high rate of dropouts in the labor market, since many workers, unable to combine work in the company and their family, leave their jobs”(1) In the history "The Jack Randa Hotel “we can see something similar to what I mentioned earlier, Gail, the protagonist of the story, decides to give up everything she owned (her store, work, etc), she sold her belongings to Donalda, her clerk, and made a brief trip, she followed her ex-husband, who had fallen in love with another woman named Sandy. Gail chose the family rather than work in spite of not knowing if it would be a good decision, in my opinion I think Gail was obsessed with Will, but their actions show the importance of family and I think her decision was something wrong, but the best, because she preferred to have someone at her side before sinking into the solitude of her work. I think that one of the biggest challenges of working and raising a family is to have time and feel good about the work and family. Many people say that family is their first priority, however, is not as well. Perhaps the family is in first place in their hearts, but clearly not in his time. Many parents think that the work is very important to their lives because they think they do it for their families. Is true “The work-family conflict is a stressor that is caused by pressure from work (an activity which is devoted more time) and family (activity considered more important than the job), becoming in some respects incompatible. The more time and energy is devoted to an activity, have less time to devote to the other” (2), but I think everything that exists in the world has time and place. We must try to find a perfect balance to live with our family and our work; it is difficult but not impossible.
