Keeping all the plates spinning

I know that I can be great at my job.
I know that I have been a great husband at points.
I am doing my best to be a great father, but I guess only time will tell!

In any case, how on earth do you get the balance right when you are trying to do all three.

It seems impossible, to not upset something or someone.

All advice, tips and tricks are welcome.

It might help to be more specific about what your issue is?

I could tell you to make sure you always have one child free evening a week (babysitter) to keep the fun in your marriage. But if your problem is that your work hours are too long, you need a totally different solution.

I'm a divorced parent, I have one child, a full time job I love, and a fiancé who doesn't live with me yet. I have odd weeks where there are a lot of plates to spin - but everything is manageable. I'm organised, and I don't sweat the small stuff.

Where do you think you're failing - and/or what other people saying you're failing at?
