Getting kids ready for school equivalent to an extra day at work: Report
An average parent with school-age kids wakes up at 6:00 in the morning to ensure they complete their check-lists, while a third of these parents wake up before 5:30 am
A new study showed parents waking up early and getting their children ready for school is equivalent to an extra day's work, according to reports. The research reportedly took into account the number of hours parents generally put in to finish chores and getting their children ready for school before their own working hours begin.
The study, which assimilated data from 2,000 working parents, suggested they complete an average of 43 tasks even before they reach their office. According to the study, the daily checklist for working parents includes making breakfast and lunch for children, taking them to school, putting a wash on, ironing school clothes, defrosting food for dinner and making a to-do-list for the next day.
