Study Reveals: Being a Mom is Like Having More Than 2.5 Full-Time Jobs

We all know motherhood is truly challenging, but did you know that being a mom is equivalent of two full-time jobs, or to be more precise 98 hours a week.

According to the new study conducted by the juice company Welch’s, it was found out that mother’s working day starts at 6:23 a.m. and ends at 8:31 p.m. In the survey, 2000 mothers of children aged 5 to 12 were included in order to analyze their weekly schedule. It was revealed that a mother’s working week is equivalent to a total of 98 hours of work, which is same as two and a half times more than the average job.

The study also shows that the average mother only gets an hour and seven minutes of time to herself every day, which is less than a lunch hour.

“The results of the survey highlight just how demanding the role of mum can be and the non-stop barrage of tasks, it consists of,” says one of the research leaders, Casey Lewis.

Because mothers are really busy, they need all the help they can get. So, never underestimate the mothers. They are hardworking and even more than you.
