Working mom have less time.
Working mothers get 3.2 fewer hours of sleep and 9.3 fewer hours of free time per week than stay-at-home moms, according to Dr. Bianchi. These research results are not surprising. Motherhood alone can be very stressful. Add a job, subtract sleep and free time and that equals STRESS. Stress is the outcome unless you balance the equation with stress relievers. One of the best balancing tools is planning ahead. Getting organized saves time and reduces stress. Make a weeks worth of dinners on Sunday. Organize clothing into complete outfits including socks and underwear as you put away the clean laundry. Pack book bags and briefcases with all the essentials at night. Mothers who work outside the home may have less time but they can have just as much peace as stay at home moms if they use the time they have efficiently.
