The article analyses the main characteristics of Slovenia legislation in the field of family policy and equal opportunities policy that encompass the problem of recinciliation of the demands of family life and workplace, and the everyday strategies that bare used by parents of small children to negotiate between them. The participation of women with small children in labour, which indicates the double work of mothers, is higher in Slovenia than in other states of EU. Young fathers have indeed taken a greater share in domestic labour and care, but there are still gender differences in reconciliation strategies. Although mothers consider part time job an ideal opportunity for combining family and work, they avoid it under the assumption that they are, with the help of relatives, still able to negotiate between the needs of their families and the demands of their workplace.
