现代人认为七八十年代的母亲更好当

　　Kate Fox, of the Social Issues Research Centre, which conducted the survey for Procter &Gamble, said: ‘With increasing pressure on mothers to work a “double shift” – to be the perfect mother as well as a wage-earner – support networks are more important than ever.’

　　这一调查是社会问题研究中心为宝洁公司开展的。该研究中心的凯特 福克斯说：“现在越来越多的母亲们被迫要两头兼顾，既要做完美的妈妈，又要工作挣钱，能够给予支持的网络也变得比以往都更重要。”

　　It comes as a separate report examining childcare in the leading industrialised nations found that working mothers in Britain spend just 81 minutes a day caring for their children as a ‘primary activity’.

　　这份在发达工业国家进行的育儿调查的独立报告发现，英国上班妈妈每天照看小孩的“主要活动”只花了81分钟。

　　Mothers who stay at home, on the other hand, manage twice as much time – more than two and a half hours – looking after their offspring, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

　　另一方面，根据经济合作与发展组织的数据，那些全职妈妈每天照顾小孩的时间是上班妈妈的两倍——超过两个半小时。
