Do you often struggle with how to hide vegetables in children’s meals? Do you need to make sure everything runs smoothly at home? Researchers say that mothers always carry the bulk of the hidden workload.
Women are more likely than men to worry about childcare even when they are not with their children.While parents often made decisions together, mothers do more of the planning and research.
However, this causes additional stress. Women are always regarded as careful workers, but the truth is: they are not naturally good at planning or organizing, they are just expected to do it more and eventually become better at it.
友善讓你懂｜解說：
你是否經常苦惱如何在孩子的飯菜中藏進蔬菜？你是否得確保家裡一切事情順利運作？研究人員發現，這些所謂的「隱藏家事」幾乎都由媽媽們來承擔。
就算當下孩子不在身邊，媽媽們也通常比爸爸更容易擔心育兒議題。雖然父母多半會一起為家中事務做決定，但通常母親早就做好許多事前計劃或研究了。
然而，這卻會導致母親們的心裡產生額外壓力。雖然女性總被認為工作上比較細心，但事實是：並不是她們天生擅長計畫或組織，而是因為女性總被期待得做好這些事，因此才會變得擅長這些事情。
