Mom keeps everything together

Mom keeps everything together

A new survey proves what a lot of families already know — mom is the glue. More than half of the mom surveyed say their household would fall apart in less than a day if they weren’t there running the show. From cleaner and chef to chauffeur, guidance counselor, and event planner, moms say they’re juggling multiple full‑time roles just to keep daily life moving. And it’s taking a toll — moms average just six hours of sleep a night, with many stuck in what they call “survival mode.” Nearly 20% of moms said they have never had a day all to themselves, or can’t remember the last time they had one. Researchers say the real stress isn’t just the chores — it’s the constant remembering, reminding, and mental load that often goes unseen. So maybe what you could give Mom for Mother’s Day is a day to herself?
