Although this doesn’t really matter much a mother who only has three children actually experiences more stress than a mother who has four or more children. But science seems to indicate that this is indeed the case. Naturally, when you have kids, you’re going to go through some pretty stressful times. From the birth of a child to the moment that child becomes an adult – and beyond – a mother is always concerned about her child’s well-being.
If you are a mother, you will always put in a lot of time and effort to ensure that your child grows up to be a capable and worthy member of society. And you also want to make sure that you don’t put them in dangerous situations that they won’t be able to handle. But it won’t always be hard times. Children bring a lot of joy, meaning, happiness, lightness and fulfillment in the lives of their mothers.
If You Can Take Care of Three Kids, You Can Do Anything
A survey conducted in 2013 by Today Parents revealed that mothers with triplets were more likely to have high levels of stress than other mothers. 7,164 mothers based in the United States participated in the study. It was found that mothers with three children actually had to deal with the highest levels of stress. He rated the stress level at 8.5 on a scale of 10.
60% of mothers also confirmed that there is more stress in raising girls than boys. The idea is that girls require a lot more care and attention than boys, who require less supervision and guidance. Naturally, this is a very debatable topic and not everyone will see it the same way.
“Going from one to two was a smooth, easy transition,” Jill Smokler, one of the survey participants, explained. ,Two-three, everything went upside down. I didn’t feel like I was together…just crossing the street and not physically able to hold hands with all of them. I found it very stressful.”
Many people would argue that raising four children would be a far more stressful experience than raising only three. And this may actually be true. However, according to the expertise of renowned psychotherapist Dr. Janet Taylor, the number 3 can actually serve as a breaking point for most parents. After you have three kids, it will be difficult to find some time for peace. She says, “When you have four or more children there is not enough room in your mind for perfectionism. The more children you have, the more confident you will be in your parenting abilities. You have to let go… and then you’ll be grateful when they all get to school on time.
Typically, moms who have four kids are practically adept at parenting and very few things stress them out.
Here are some other statistics related to the mother:
- 72% of moms are stressed about how stressed they are.
- 60% of moms say they are mostly stressed about how little time they have to get things done.
- 90% of mothers are stressed about staying fit and attractive.
- 46% of mothers say that their husbands are more stressed than their children.
All moms and dads who want to have three or more children need to prepare for the worst. As with anything else in life, preparation will always be key. And parenting is going to be no different. There will be a lot of pressure on you to do right and make the right choices when it comes to your parenting. But ultimately, a child is a blessing. And you always want to make sure that you do the right thing according to them.
