Survey: Moms With Three Kids More Stressed

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A new survey says that mothers with three children are the most stressed.

TODAYMoms.com says they surveyed over 7,000 mothers across the country and found that mothers with one, two, four or more children stress less than mothers with three children.

The results also indicated that the average mom gives herself a stress level of 8.5 on a scale of 1-10, where 10 is the most stressed; but 75 percent of moms said most of their stress came from themselves.

The survey also found that 60 percent of moms say their biggest cause of stress is lack of time to get everything done, 46 percent say their husbands/partners cause more stress than their children and nine out of 10 moms stress about staying attractive and fit.
