Mums have less 'me time'
MUMS in Sheffield only manage to take a break for 24 minutes each day - compared to dads who enjoy a whopping four and a half hours "me time".
A survey by PopCap.com, in association with the Stress Management Society, found that 95 per cent of Sheffield mums were stressed - with 57 per cent citing money troubles as their biggest worry.
The findings also showed that mums do not use their 24 minutes wisely - with popular activities like having a cup of tea, smoking a cigarette or having a snack shown to be counter-productive, because they don't allow the mind to rest from worries.
