The Surprising Connection Between Working Moms And Their Daughters’ Future Bank Accounts

If you need another reason to let go of working mom guilt, just look to a study published in the journal Work, Employment and Society, which found that adult daughters of mothers who worked outside of the home were more likely to be employed, hold more supervisory responsibility, work more hours and earn higher incomes than their peers whose mothers were not employed. The findings were based on two surveys of 100,000 adults in 29 countries. That’s great news for moms who worry that their time at the office will negatively affect their kids, and it flies in the face of conventional wisdom that it’s in the best interest of their children if moms do not work.

This Is How Many Minutes The Average Mom Gets To Herself Each Day

Ladies, do you feel this is accurate? Most parents will tell you that they have very little personal time. Between meal prep, carpools, story time, bath time, work outside the home and trying to catch at least a little sleep, moms and dads find themselves with little time left over each day to relax or just do something nice for themselves. But exactly how little “me” time they get on a daily basis may surprise — and sadden — you. According to a survey of 2,000 parents, conducted by meal-delivery service Munchery,the average parent has just 32 minutes to themselves each day. Yikes! That’s barely enough time to shower and get dressed, let alone settle down with a good book or hit a yoga class. What’s more, the survey found that 32 percent of parents don’t stop working until 8 p.m. Th...

This Mom’s Hilarious Video Of Getting Trapped In Her Spanx Is So Relatable

Our guess is that most of us have huffed, puffed, sweated, squeezed, and prayed our way into a pair of shapewear at some point. This hilarious video that went absolutely viral is the perfect cup of tea for every woman out there, simply because we’ve all been where she’s at while trying on shapewear. Laura, the mom blogger behind Knee Deep In Life explains in the video that she’s ordered some tummy-sucking shapewear that was advertised she’s going to have the “stomach of Jennifer Lopez”.

Moms Everywhere Can Totally Relate To This Woman’s Funny “Wife Trick Shots” Video.

Do you ever feel like you’re in the movie “Groundhog Day” when it comes to keeping your home tidy? When you live with kids (or perhaps a messy spouse), you become accustomed to roaming your house and picking up all the stuff that gets dropped or misplaced. For some reason, these simple acts of picking up after yourself don’t come naturally to some, so there’s always one person in the household who’s gathering those fruit snack wrappers, tossing balled-up dirty socks into the hamper, and closing the gosh-darn cabinet doors. Why are these tasks so impossible for some people to manage? Facebook California mother of three Danielle Cetani was wondering the same thing. One day, as she was preparing to do a “sweep” of her house, she decided to make a quick video. “Apparently, the...

Maternity Leave: How Long Does It Last Around The World

Molly Schultz is a 27-year-old stay-at-home mom from Washington state, and blogger behind “Tried and True Mama.” She illustrates this point perfectly in a blog entry detailing the circumstances behind a flight she took in the spring of 2016 to say goodbye to her dying father, Marvin Stephanson.

Although in this summer heat all an expectant mother may want to do is lounge in the pool, that can be easier said than done when you’re pregnant!
