Parent’s biggest stressors

Having children is the best moment of our lives…taking care of them, not always so much!

The average parent “can’t even” about six times a day according to SWNS.

Their biggest stressors?

When they get sick  You have to take care of them, it’s extra work and you know you’re getting sick, too.

Getting them to sleep at night  Especially younger kids.

Getting them to eat certain foods and meal times in general

Getting them off their phone or away from the TV  (Maybe they will if you will?)

Getting them to clean their bedroom

Making them brush their teeth

Getting them out of bed and ready in the morning

Getting them to school on time

Getting them dressed

At what age is parenting the most stressful?

Five, on average…so if your kids are 6 or older, you’re in the clear…right? 😉
