family responsibilities

Kin care duties

Family responsibilities are the duties and obligations one has toward family members—caring for children, supporting a spouse, looking after aging parents.

The phrase often appears in workplace contexts to explain constraints on availability: She reduced her hours due to family responsibilities.

It can also signal the competing demands between career and home life.
