A new study has found that a huge number of moms can't engage in self-care without feeling guilty, and some even skip self-care because they feel bad about taking time for themselves.
, surveyed over 1,000 adults across the country. And their findings contain a lot of interesting information about how we view self-care, how the different generations engage in self-care, and what gets in the way of getting enough me-time.
And even when parents do miraculously take the time to engage in self-care, they don’t even feel good about it — they feel guilty.While three in 10 parents wish that they spent more time taking care of themselves, 39% feel guilty to take time , and 21% often don’t engage in self-care because of the guilt.
There are also pretty stark gender divides about self-care. For example, even though more moms than dads are more likely to feel both overwhelmed and burnt out , more men than women stated that they consistently make time for self-care and men are more likely than women to block off time for themselves in their calendars .
Even though women are more likely to think that taking care of their bodies is a form of self-care — 76 percent of us feel that way, compared to 68 percent of men — women are more likely than men to skip their beauty routine or grooming routine because they were too tired or had chores to do .
