Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic forced many parents to work from home while children participated in distance learning, providing a unique opportunity to examine what children observed about work-life balance. Parent-child dyads ( N = 194) completed online surveys about their perceptions of work-life balance. Examination of mothers and fathers found similar challenges about working at home. Parents reported that work-life balance was problematic while children reported positive work-life balance for their parents due to the time spent together while everyone was at home.
