London, Sep 02 (ANI): A new study has shown that full-time UK mothers now carry out the jobs of 23 professionals, all crammed into a 13-hour day during the school holidays.
The study, for Chessington World of Adventures theme park in Surrey, looked into the roles performed by 2,500 UK mothers.
It found out the average mother got up and 7.16am and didn't stop working until 8.41pm.
Six in 10 of those surveyed wished their partner would help out more.
Two-thirds said they were exhausted during the holidays, with seven out of 10 looking forward to having a break when the children return to school.
"As the end of the school holidays draw near, it's understandable that mums are flagging following longer days than most who have a full-time job," the Daily Express quoted a spokesman for the park as saying.
"The nation's mums work so hard and have to juggle so many things. They try to keep on top of everything, and end up doing the tasks of 23 people.
"They have to turn their hand to everything - from ferrying the kids around or booking the holiday, to keeping them occupied with a painting brush or making the bed.
"It's amazing how they fit it all in to one day. It's unfair they sometimes receive little thanks or don't have enough help," the spokesman added
Other tasks highlighted were gardener, waitress, counsellor, teacher, interior-designer and personal shopper. (ANI)
