Many people are in dual-income households, since the prevailing "norm" has shifted from the "bread-winner" model to the dual-income model.  In such cases, many people have to work a full day at the office or job and then come Home to another full-time or part-time job of raising a Family.  And Family responsibilities are not limited to raising children.  Many working parents also have care-giving responsibilities for their parents and/or parents-in-law.  All of these responsibilities can and often do lead to stress and lack of work-life balance, as well as the feeling of not meeting all responsibilities fully.
