So working mothers spend 81 minutes per day on average with their children

[ivykaty44]

I wonder what happens at the weekends then..? www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/8408503/Working-mothers-spend-81-minutes-a-day-looking-after-their-children.html

they spend all weekend lying in bed and drinking wine of course

It also said that SAHMs spend 2 1/2 hours a day with their children....

What ages were the children in the families involved with this study?

I doubt I even spend 81 minutes a week with DD2 tbh

nowhere will it say about working fathers, ever

This time includes the time spent eating, I thought other reports state we don't sit down and eat with our children..?

Should my heart bleed?

Fron the same report.

'Of all parents, fathers with jobs spent the least time on such care - just 43 minutes a day.

Even when they did not work, fathers spent less time than mothers looking after their offspring - on average just 63 minutes a day - 18 minutes less than a mother who goes out to work.'

I reckon half the SAHMs must post on MN.

'Of women of working age, just two million are at home caring for family members full-time, a figure which includes those looking after elderly relatives, compared to more than 13 million in work.'
