Working from home, initially a pandemic necessity, has become a mixed blessing for many mothers who find themselves balancing work and family life. While it grants them flexibility, it also exacerbates their responsibilities, leading to a phenomenon where they may be doing more than their fair share of domestic duties. Research shows that during the pandemic, mothers in two-parent households took on the majority of child care and supervisory roles, a trend that continues post-pandemic and raises questions about gender roles in the home.
Working from home allows us to 'have it all,' but do we end up instead 'doing it all' and taking on even more responsibilities?
64% of mothers felt they were responsible for the majority of child care during the pandemic, compared to only 35% of fathers.
Post-pandemic, 78% of mothers reported doing more in managing their children's schedules and activities in two-parent households.
For many, working from home has created a new kind of crisis; moms juggle work and family in a never-ending double shift.
