    • The average parent dedicates over 14 hours of their day to others
    • With over 25 tasks to be done every day, Brits are stressed with pressures of parenthood
    • Families are feeling disconnected due to their hectic lives

    Modern Parents
    A new wave of parents has been identified following fresh research revealing eight out of ten have confessed they feel like they are on ‘autopilot’ most days.

    Dubbed the ‘Auto-parent’, this modern breed has declared that ‘being on auto’ is the only way to get them through a hectic day.

    According to research from Dorset Cereals, the average British mum spends a staggering 14.5 HOURS A DAY (60 percent) undertaking tasks for the family, with modern dads just behind with 10 HOURS (42 percent).

    Although we have modern technology and services at our fingertips, it looks like we are STILL following in the footsteps of our parents and facing the same challenges they did. While certain aspects of the parenting process have become easier, parents reveal life has got no less stressful.

    Ten Parents Feel “disconnected” From Their Family
    The poll of 2,000 mums and dads unveiled that the rat race of the modern age has forced time-strapped parents to juggle both family life and career, leaving 71 percent of parents feeling “disconnected” from their family due to their fast and busy lives. Over two-thirds of mums and dads declared that they feel pressure to become the “perfect parent” and have everything in control like they felt their parents did.

    And it is not surprising that we don’t have time to slow down, the average parent has a whopping 22 household tasks to complete each day BEFORE THEY LEAVE THE HOUSE. With mums undertaking 25 chores a day and dad also tackling an impressive 18, it isn’t surprising to hear that a staggering 83 percent regularly feel at their wit’s end.

    Constant cleaning and tidying emerged as the biggest bugbear, with almost half (48 percent) saying if they could transfer the responsibility to someone else, they would.Ironing the school uniform came second (14 percent) followed by emptying the bins and taking out the rubbish (12 percent).

    Nearly half (49 percent) said that breakfast is the most stressful part of the day, with the daily rush to get out of the door taking its toll. Sitting down for breakfast was once norm for the previous generation, however, modern life has made this fall from the morning agenda, with just 8 percent making the time to come together to enjoy breakfast.

    Eight In Ten Modern Parents Confess
    Beverley Woodward, Brand Manager for Dorset Cereals
    commented on the findings; “As a nation, we seem to have adopted an afast-paced way of life. It is clear to see why some parents feel stretched, with running a household and caring for the family, all whilst juggling work commitments. With our hectic schedules, spending quality time together can feel rushed. While we understand it may not always be possible, we are urging families to try and carve out time so precious moments that make up our every day aren’t missed. We believe you should start as you mean to go on, so why not try to slow down one morning and savour the moments with your family.”

    To help facilitate time for families to come together, Dorset Cereals and Molly Maids have partnered together to donate over 100 hours of cleaning time to ease some of the daily burdens. Simply visit dorsetcereals.co.uk between 26th January – 30th April for a chance to win and enjoy a breakfast on the slow1.
