Moms and dads question their parenting skills three times a week on average, according to new research. The survey of 2,000 American parents with young children, 11 and under, uncovered some of their toughest struggles and biggest shocks while learning how to raise their kids. In the study, the parents surveyed admitted to feeling like a “bad” parent three times per week, on average, totaling to 156 times per year.
Conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Celebree School, the study looked at the complexities of parenthood, how parents navigate it all and different parenting styles by generation. The survey found that, although kids make their parents laugh 12 times per day, on average, respondents admitted to needing a break from their parenting duties twice a week.
