In case you didn’t already know mama, we are real-life superheroes.
According to the survey, the average mom is lucky to get about an hour and seven minutes to herself each day. For most women, even alone time is spent thinking about the next thing that needs to get done or hiding out in a bathroom for just a few minutes of peace.
Four out of 10 of the moms surveyed said their lives feel like never-ending series of tasks all week.
“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.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 70 percent of moms with children under 18 participate in the workforce, meaning at least 40 hours of their week is already designated to a paid job. Now tap an additional 58 hours of work onto that and anyone could understand why mommin’ can be a monumental task.
