“Just over 50 per cent of mothers struggle to find quality time to amuse the children due to busy lives and hectic work schedules.”
“The majority admitted that they could do better at a string of other everyday parental tasks too, blaming themselves for a lack of patience and not cooking more meals from scratch.”
Who cares about cooking from scratch? That can easily be a waste of time.
“24 per cent believe they should be putting more effort into helping children with their schoolwork.”
Uh, what are they paying the teachers to do?
“Three quarters of the mothers polled said that they often leave the children to entertain themselves [children] so they can get a bit of work or chores done.”
Sounds like one quarter are lying.
