According to a feature in the British newspaper The Telegraph, busy moms get just 26 minutes on average to themselves each day. The survey of 1,000 mothers was undertaken by Procter & Gamble with the Social Issues Research Center. It found that 56 percent of mothers felt they had either the same amount of free time as their own mothers or even less. The time that's been created with new technologies now goes into outside employment. Moms are left trying to balance it all while still being loving parents. According to the article, "more mothers thought that they now spent greater amount of time with their children compared with their own mothers, with 48 percent saying they spent more time, and just 19 percent saying they spent less time." |
