Survey: Working Moms: An Assistant at Home? Yes, Please

From the article:

In a survey of more than 700 working moms, 67.5 percent said they would prefer an assistant at home rather than at work. The survey Working Moms: How do they manage?, a joint venture by TODAYMoms and iVillage, found that 17.5 percent said they’d prefer help at work. (And a curious 19.5 percent answered “none of the above.” We want to know: who are these wonder women?)

• 66 percent of full-time working moms are responsible for 75 percent of the household chores. Meanwhile, an unlucky 11 percent say they’re responsible for ALL of the household chores.
• What’s a working mom to do when she gets sick?  Soldier on, is the response of 24 percent, who said “I am not allowed to get sick.”
• More than 75 percent say that juggling work and family makes it hard to live a healthy lifestyle.
• Asked how they feel about being a working mom, “proud” beat out “guilty” – barely. While 87 percent feel proud, 82 percent felt guilty. (They were allowed to pick more than one choice.)
• Nearly 60 percent are satisfied with the time they spend with their kids.
