CLEVELAND — A new survey found what moms all over the world will tell you: it’s hard work. The report is called the 2023 State of Motherhood, based on a survey conducted by Motherly. They checked in with some 10,000 moms over two weeks. Here are some of the major findings:
It’s no wonder, then, taking all those numbers to heart, that the survey also found more moms are turning to therapy to address their mental health. Motherly found 46% of mothers surveyed were seeking therapy, up from 43% in 2022. The top reasons moms are seeking help were anxiety, depression, relationships, and postpartum issues.“I think for a lot of moms, there’s a lot of mom guilt. It’s almost like you can’t win. If you work, you’re a bad mom. If you don’t work, you’re a bad mom.
Kelley also pointed out that in many homes, moms are still the default parent carrying the social, emotional, and cognitive load of parenting. That means most often, they’re the ones scheduling those medical checkups, remembering when soccer registration opens, and making sure the kids get picked up and dropped off at the right times.Kelly says moms need stronger support systems. It really does take a village.
“I always tell people the last thing any mom needs is probably a feeling of guilt,” she said."So, anything that you can do to be a cheerleader, to provide support, empowerment, right? Like, ‘you’re doing a great job. I see that you’re working really hard; that’s phenomenal.'”News 5 Now Evening Download the News 5 Cleveland app now for more stories from us, plus alerts on major news, the latest weather forecast, traffic information and much more.
