They’re the Cinderellas of real life, the driving force behind every family. Up at dawn and the last one to sleep at night, mums spend the majority of their waking hours tending to their families’ needs and helping to make ends meet.
There are a million and one things mums have to deal with on a daily basis, leaving them frazzled and in dire need of some much-needed “me time”.
Because unlike the Cinderella of fairy tales, mums don’t have little mice friends to help them with their chores, or a fairy godmother to make the house spick and span with just a wave of her wand.
According to a study commissioned by TVbed, out of the 2,000 mothers who participated in the poll, nearly 75% felt they live their lives for other people, while a frazzled 51 % regularly go for weeks at a time without a single minute to spare for relaxation.
We, at theAsianparent, understand the demands of motherhood all too well. As such, we conducted our own research, and asked some mums to participate in a study to find out how they spend their time.
Results showed that a staggering 97% of mothers find that “me time” was drastically reduced after having kids; quite a few also regard “me time” as unacceptable, largely due to a sense of responsibility to their family, feelings of guilt, and the fear that their children may not do well in the future.
How “me-time” helps the family as a whole
While mothers deny themselves of much-needed “me time” for the sake of the family, studies show that alone time can actually contribute positively to the individual and benefit the entire family as a whole.
Alone time can help to improve concentration, reduce stress or increase tenacity during stressful situations. It can also help to reboot the brain and recharge the body.
Investing in adequate alone time helps mothers recharge, making them feel more energized and stabilizing their moods, which in turn improves family relations and interactions. Mothers who have time for themselves actually become better parents because they are more engaged, and are able to give more attention to the kids when spending time with them.
According to the same study, a mother has to devote herself to many different activities on a daily basis.
16.6% of mothers find that housework is a necessary chore they need to spend their time on: almost as much as spending quality time (17.9%) with their family.
But does housework really have to be so time-consuming? What if there was a simple, easy cleaning solution that can give a mother extra time?
