A recent study reveals that stay-at-home moms show more signs of depression than working moms with a “SuperMom” complex. The findings suggest that working moms exhibit signs of better mental health overall as they attempt to find a stable balance between work and home.
Mothers everywhere, regardless of it they stay at home or work, strive to have it all; a happy family, clean home and laundry and dinner on the table at a reasonable hour. But no matter how hard you try, things can’t always be perfect and go the way you want.
Every mom needs a break. Stay at home moms need a break from their house work and children duties. Working moms need some quite time away from job and home responsibilities. Without a break, the relentless routines of cooking, cleaning and caring or working and home management, start to wear on your will.
Mothers everywhere should treat themselves to something special once in a while. Whether it’s chocolate ice cream for lunch, a mani/pedi at the spa, a new handbag, or a person to do the house cleaning for you, find something that pampers you. Give yourself a break and a peace of mind, for once.
Thanks for the informative post. I think stay-at-home moms are prone to depression because they are confined to the four walls of the house without anyone to talk for much part of the day.
We depend on our mothers for tidying things up at home. They know where everything is and they get stubborn stains removed. These days, more and more mothers are joining the employment race and this requires the participation of the other member of the family to continue maintaining the cleanliness and organization of their living spaces. For those who do not have the time and simply hire professionals to tidy things up, being able to clean after yourself is still an advantage.
