Difficulty related to Income: For working mothers, it is very difficult to manage a child, in that case, child care or babysitting costs can take much of the mother`s salary. It is very difficult to manage the family, on a single salary. The second salary helps the family to stand financially.
Stress load, which is quite much more on working mothers: The stress load is very much on working mothers, Recently a survey reported that 60 percent of women take out their stress on their family members.
Around 50 percent of the women want to work as full-time mothers & around 20 percent like to work from home. Just 3-4 percent say that they want to work as a full-time employee if they get the choice. Around 80 percent of the mothers said they would quit their jobs if they could.
Housework is still women`s work: The statistics say that married women with children are worse cases. Today, working mother is still performing most of the household work.
Working mothers work more hours than working fathers & the important thing is that working mothers who work part-time have the longest working hours of all. In these cases, most divorces are initiated by women.
