Survey Says… The Average Parent Feels Like a Failure 156 Times a Year

The following is excerpted from an online article posted by StudyFinds.

Every week, millions of American parents experience the same crushing feeling: they’re failing their children. It happens on Tuesday when bedtime becomes a battle. Again, on Thursday, when patience runs thin. And once more on Saturday, when guilt creeps in during a family outing gone wrong.

A new nationwide survey shows that parents question their abilities and feel like “bad parents” three times per week on average, totaling 156 moments of self-doubt yearly. Yet these same parents also laugh with their children 12 times daily, showing the emotional rollercoaster that defines modern family life.

The study surveyed 2,000 American parents with children 11 and under.
