As part of the “Circuit-breaker” social distancing measure to address COVID-19, the government of Singapore closed schools and workplaces from April to May 2020. Although this helped reduce transmission rates, for working parents, this period had been a challenging experience of working from home while providing care for children full-time. Problems in the work-home interface can have a significant impact on parenting and marital harmony. We analyzed data from 201 married and employed parents in Singapore using online surveys. Latent profile analysis was used to identify profiles of parents’ work–family balance (WFB) and spousal and employer support. Linear regression was used to examine links between profiles with parenting stress and marital conflicts. Results indicated three distinct profiles of WFB and social support levels: (a) Strong (43%), (b) Moderate (38%), and (c) Poor (19%). Mothers were more likely than fathers to be in the Moderate and Poor profiles. One key finding is that profiles characterized by poorer WFB were found to be linked with higher parenting stress and increased marital conflicts. There are important variations in parents’ abilities to balance work and family and levels of social support received. Lock-downs can affect parenting and marital harmony especially for parents with poor WFB and weak social support. Any attention given to supporting working parents is vital and urgent to counter any problems in the work–family interface during a lockdown.

作为应对 COVID-19 的“断路器”社会疏远措施的一部分，新加坡政府于 2020 年 4 月至 5 月关闭了学校和工作场所。尽管这有助于降低传播率，但对于在职父母来说，这段时间是一段充满挑战的经历在家工作的同时全职照顾孩子。工作与家庭界面中的问题会对养育子女和婚姻和谐产生重大影响。我们使用在线调查分析了来自新加坡 201 位已婚和受雇父母的数据。潜在概况分析用于确定父母工作-家庭平衡 (WFB) 以及配偶和雇主支持的概况。线性回归被用来检查与养育压力和婚姻冲突的概况之间的联系。结果表明 WFB 和社会支持水平的三个不同概况：(a) 强 (43%)，(b) 中等 (38%)，以及 (c) 较差 (19%)。母亲比父亲更有可能处于中等和较差的个人资料中。一项重要发现是，以较差的 WFB 为特征的个人资料被发现与较高的育儿压力和增加的婚姻冲突有关。父母平衡工作和家庭的能力以及获得的社会支持水平存在重要差异。封锁会影响育儿和婚姻和谐，特别是对于 WFB 差和社会支持薄弱的父母。对支持在职父母的任何关注对于解决锁定期间工作与家庭界面中的任何问题都是至关重要和紧迫的。一项重要发现是，以较差的 WFB 为特征的个人资料被发现与较高的育儿压力和增加的婚姻冲突有关。父母平衡工作和家庭的能力以及获得的社会支持水平存在重要差异。封锁会影响育儿和婚姻和谐，特别是对于 WFB 差和社会支持薄弱的父母。对支持在职父母的任何关注对于解决锁定期间工作与家庭界面中的任何问题都是至关重要和紧迫的。一项重要发现是，以较差的 WFB 为特征的个人资料被发现与较高的育儿压力和增加的婚姻冲突有关。父母平衡工作和家庭的能力以及获得的社会支持水平存在重要差异。封锁会影响育儿和婚姻和谐，特别是对于 WFB 差和社会支持薄弱的父母。对支持在职父母的任何关注对于解决锁定期间工作与家庭界面中的任何问题都是至关重要和紧迫的。
