职场妈妈更想雇保姆 而非工作助理

　　"Unfortunately, what working moms have the least time for is themselves," said Kelly Wallace, chief correspondent for iVillage.

　　iVillage网站的首席记者凯利 华莱士说：“不幸的是，职场妈妈留给自己的时间最少了。”

　　Work and home pressures leave nearly half of working mothers feeling unhealthy, and about 40 percent said they do not have enough time with their children, the survey showed.

　　调查显示，来自工作和家庭的压力使得近半数职场妈妈感觉不健康，大约40%称自己没有足够的时间陪孩子。

　　A Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co. survey estimated that around the house, women log more hours cooking and cleaning than men but undervalue their contributions in dollar terms.

　　佩恩互助保险公司的调查估计，在家里，女性花更多的时间做饭、打扫卫生，但如果折合成金钱，总是低估自己的贡献。

　　Men and women both say they do about $25,000 worth of household chores, but Penn Mutual found women spent more time than men per week on every chore from walking the dog to doing laundry.

　　男性和女性都表示自己做的家务事价值2.5万美元，但佩恩互助保险公司发现，从溜狗到洗衣，女性每周里在每件家务事上花费的时间都多于男性。

　　The insurance company calculated the median value for a woman's contribution to the home is closer to $34,000, as opposed to just over $19,000 for a man.

　　该保险公司计算，女性对家庭的贡献平均折合为接近3.4万美元，而男性的贡献仅仅折合1.9万美元。

　　Mothers and single women, in particular, short-changetheir contributions around the house, it said.

　　尤其是妈妈们和单身女性总是低估自己对家庭的贡献。

　　Penn Mutual estimated the work a mother with a young child does around the house at about $45,000 but said those women perceived their worth at just $29,000.

　　佩恩公司估计，带着年幼孩子的女性所做的家务价值4.5万美元，但这些女性认为价值仅有2.9万美元。

　　More than half of women surveyed underestimated their worth by at least $10,000, the survey showed.

　　调查还表明，半数以上的女性对自己所做家务的价值至少低估了1万美元。
