The average mom reportedly works the equivalent of two full-time jobs per week

Chores, doctors appointments and meetings oh my!

According to a study done by the U.S. Department of Labor in 2017, 70% of moms with children under 18 participate in the workforce. Seventy-five percent of these women are employed full time. So, for the majority of mothers, their workload is extra heavy — it's a whirlwind of doctor appointments, carpools and employment responsibilities.A study commissioned by Welch's Grape Fruit Juice in 2018 revealed that if you add up the time the average working mom spends at her paid position and working on her duties at home, it totals to 98 hours per week, Working Mother reports. That's equal to, if not more than, the weekly hours dedicated to two full-time positions. Two!The study reportedly consisted of 2,000 American women with children ranging from ages 5 to 12. Results found that the average mom starts her busy day around 6:23 a.m. and doesn't finish with job or family related duties until about 8:31 p.m. That's a whopping 14-hour shift. So, these women are never really "off the clock" — they're perpetually on call. And to be honest, what mom isn't?"The results of the survey highlight just how demanding the role of mom can be and the nonstop barrage of tasks it consists of," Casey Lewis, MS, RD and health & nutrition lead at Welch's, told Yahoo! News.As of 2015, working moms still took on the bulk of household chores, especially when it came to child care, a study by the Working Mother Research Institute reports. Despite the fact that dads are shouldering more household duties nowadays, the results also showed that, as CNBC related, "being the family's primary earner doesn't lighten the load for women."It makes sense, then, that four in 10 Welch's survey participants felt their life was a "never-ending series of tasks." A majority of them also claimed to have an average of one hour and seven minutes to themselves daily. While being a busy bee comes with the job, this number seems terribly low.Even still, with the fine-tuned ability to multitask (and several other superpowers miraculously bestowed upon childbearing women), working moms get through it. But what keeps them sane amidst the chaos? Participants in the Welch's study ranked their self-proclaimed "life-savers," which reportedly included a constant supply of coffee, the support from grandparents and babysitters, wet wipes, Netflix and, of course, wine.
