According to research being a mom is the equivalent of working 2.5 full-time jobs.A study conducted by Welch’s of 2,000 moms found that they spent an average of 98 hours per week doing mom duties. Most moms “clocked in” for the day around 6:23 a.m. and “clocked out” again around 8:31 p.m. for a 14-hour day. The opt-in survey respondents had kids ranging in ages 5 to 12. Had they included moms of babies still waking in the middle of the night, it could very well be a 24-hour “work” day. Moms work roughly 98 hours a week. 😱 pic.twitter.com/LQQGIawY6s— Dose (@dose) March 19, 2018The survey showed that, on average, moms got just over one hour to themselves every day. Four out of every 10 moms surveyed said that their week felt like a never-ending list of tasks.“The results of the survey highlight just how demanding the role of mom can be and the non-stop barrage of tasks it consists of,” said Casey Lewis, MS, RD and Health & Nutrition Lead at Welch’s.The survey also asked what moms relied on most to help them survive the long work week. The most popular responses included coffee, wine, Netflix, wet wipes, iPads and toys.—Shahrzad Warkentin Featured photo: StockSnap via Pixabay RELATED STORIESThis Is How Much American Parents Pay for BabysittersHow I Explain Racism to My White Friends (So They Can Explain It to Their Kids)Here’s How to Take Your Child to Work In 2021 Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to share on Copy (Opens in new window) Search more like this non stopnutritionwinesurvivehealthcoffeedemandendincludequestionrangerolesayspent Welcome to our Tinybeans family!
