Nine in 10 moms said being a mother is both the hardest and the most rewarding thing they’ve ever done, according to new research.
Commissioned by Sunsweet Growers Inc. and conducted by Talker Research ahead of Mother’s Day, the survey of 2,000 moms with a child between the ages of 1–6 found 93% of respondents agreed with this sentiment — recognizing the joy and the challenges that come with being a mother.
To help as they navigate motherhood, respondents were asked what advice they’d like to give themselves, if they could go back to when their baby was born.
“Be brave,” “be patient” and “the kids need a happy mom, not a perfect one” are all things moms wish they could go back in time to tell themselves. Other helpful tips included a reminder “that your baby loves you unconditionally and you are doing great” — and “it is going to be okay, and the lack of sleep will be worth it.”
