Many moms with kids under 18 also say they need more opportunities for self-care (69%) and more help with parenting from family and friends (54%). In comparison, fewer fathers feel the same, with 57% and 39% respectively. “I think for a lot of moms, there’s a lot of mom guilt. It’s almost like you can’t win. If you work, you’re a bad mom. If you don’t work, you’re a bad mom,” says Dr. Erika Kelley, a clinical psychologist at University Hospitals. She believes mothers need stronger support systems to help them lighten their burdens. This includes things like organising meals, keeping track of household supplies, scheduling medical appointments, and managing the entire family’s emotions. Even though dads are more involved than ever, moms are still the ones doing most of this work. But whatever your situation, if you take on more than you can handle, it can lead to mental health issues like anxiety or depression, as well as physical problems like muscle tension and poor sleep. There’s also a chance of developing feelings of resentment toward your partner. Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda!
