sometimes it all boils down to time management and a commitment to follow through with time budgets. after all, in a day we have 8 hours for work, 8 hours for sleep and 8 hours to do our thing

Tricky one really but perhaps you could make weekends 'family time' do something together as a family from time-to-time.

It can be really tough at times. We work from home and make it a policy that after 6:00pm, we're finished and recharge with the family. Everybody's situation is different.
You just have to dive into it and work it out.

It's really helped to allow ourselves to be guided by a good balance of spirituality into our family/work equation.

Good luck! It will work out. It always does....

Even on your busy days at work try to give time to your family. Remember your working for your family. Try to have vacation with your family once a month to release the stress from work and spend time with your family.

i am a young mother to a three year old daughter, so spending time with her and my husband only comes really easy right now. recently, we shared over a simple video with cute puppies and we really had a great time.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF6mmaawyws (this the video), what i mean with that is it's really easy when you're starting so i'm grabbing this chance. i know it will be hard soon when we discover different interests, views, etc along the way...

Its always about balance and communication. Some people have really high career ambitions, and there's nothing wrong with that. But its important that both partners in a couple support each other's needs. IE - check out this movie, that's not what the movie's about, but as an example -

Hello everyone...
Nice posts , i have read each and every post... Yeah finding extra time to spend together as a family is never easy but it is possible. If being with your family is important look at the ways you spend your time now. With a little forsight you can build family time right into your busy lifestyle too...
It gives relaxation to our mind indeed...

Family time - that's my youngest son's favorite word. It brings a wonderful smile on his face. This means he wants to spend time with mommy, daddy, big sister, and big brother, either just watching tv or watching a movie, anything done together with the whole family.
I have been very busy with work these past two years that I have not given my son the family time he wants and needs. One thing I learned - just learn to say "No" or "Stop" to your job or whatever activity you're doing when your child asks fr family time. It may have to be scheduled, but his time is his time. Honor it, live it. It builds the trust and bond between child and parent.
One last thing - when deciding whether to work extra on a weekend just to get by with daily load or spending time with family, always remember that it's just a job. Not a way of life. Time flies by so fast, you may not realize that it is too late to have family time.
