Supermums are more likely to get depressed, says survey

I’ve lost count of how many mums think I’m doing something amazing because I am a mother of two who works.

Some have made some pity filled, and almost condescending comment to make (“poor you…etc”), trying to make me feel bad (albeit unsuccessfully) because they don’t work and I choose to work. And other tell me I’m a supermum.

To me, I’m just dong what my mother did – and what more than 50% of women with children aged under five years are doing (according to government statistics).

But according to a recent survey, running a successful home while maintaining thee career of a woman’s dream makes them feel depressed.
