Who’s happier: working parents or stay-at-home parents?
According to a new study courtesy of child services network Care.com andYahoo Parenting, it’s almost a wash. While 92 percent of working parents say they are happy, 87 percent of stay-at-home parents describe themselves as happy, too. (The study, conducted last month, comprised nearly 1,800 participants.)
A majority of parents surveyed said that working part-time would be the ideal scenario. Whereas stay-at-home parents were more prone to loneliness and boredom, employed parents cited the unhappiest time of their days as leaving for work each morning, and described juggling a career and family as particularly trying.
