福克斯新闻 妈妈们平均一周工作98小时

Moms, can we talk for just a minute about why we're so tired? A new study commissioned by Welch's says the average mom works¹ the equivalent² of two full-time³ jobs per week.

If you add up the time the average working mom spends at her paid job and her work at home, it totals 98 hours a week. The survey of 2,000 American moms with kids age 5 to 12 found mom starts her day at about 6:23 am and doesn't finish until about 8:30 that night.

So what about "me time"? The survey found that moms get an hour and seven minutes to themselves each day.

妈妈们，我们能聊聊为什么我们总是这么累吗？醇果蓝公司一项新的研究表示，妈妈们每周工作的时间相当于两份全职工作。

如果算上妈妈们在工作上投入的时间以及她们在家劳作的时间，一周一共是98小时。该项研究调查了2000名孩子年龄在5-12岁的美国妈妈，发现她们每天的工作时间是早上6:23一直到晚上8:30结束。

那她们的“私人专属时间”呢？该项研究发现，妈妈们平均每天只有1小时零7分的自由时间。
