Now more than ever, people are feeling the pressure to do it all, be it all, and keep it all together, all the time.

​

These days mothers are expected to spend more time with their children, work full-time jobs, and still somehow keep up with the full-time housekeeping responsibilities of the past.

​

A University of Maryland study found that today’s mothers spend an average of 14.1 hours with their children per week, up from the 10.2 hours per week mothers in the 1960s spent with their children. In addition to the 40 or more hours worked per week at a full-time job, there is also the time spent commuting, which is an average of 20 minutes each way for a Tucsonan, or 3 hours and 20 minutes a week.

​

This means families have been expected to add nearly 48 hours to their week. Where are all these extra hours supposed to be coming from?

​

When each person in the family has their own schedule, it becomes hard to juggle all the moving pieces, come together for quality time, and still keep up with responsibilities.

​

Stress levels are rising and people are sacrificing their health trying to be super-human.

​

2020 has seen a drastic increase in the time people are spending in their homes. While working from home may cut out the time it takes to commute the additional 3 hours a week has been eaten up primarily with more responsibilities. Having more people home more often creates more of a mess.

​

Additionally, the more time we spend at home the harder it is to ignore the household chores and accumulating clutter. We cannot escape off to the office where our space has been designed to enhance productivity. Now we have to fight to keep our attention where it’s needed most.

​

With schools closed and more parents telecommuting, the home has to serve more functions. Now a house has to be a school, an office, and a place of entertainment all while still being a home.

​

It’s no wonder that most Americans describe their lives as hectic.

​

How is one family supposed to balance both parents working full-time jobs, maintain a clean and tidy home, run all the errands, check off everything on the to-do list, keep up with hobbies and socialization, and get 3-4 workouts in a week, all while managing to enjoy home-cooked meals, spend quality time together, and still get 7-8 hours of recommended sleep per night?
