By analysing the numbers,it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime.After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that, on most days, mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm.
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, parttime lawyer,personal trainer and entertainer.Being a parttime lawyer, at £48.98 an hour,would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jobs”,with psychologist(心理学家)a close second.
It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional(情感的)demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.
Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.
The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother's Day.The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be neverending,but children are also sources of great joy and happiness.Investing(投入)in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.
