Summary
About half of working women reported feeling stressed “a lot of the day,” compared to about 4 in 10 men, according to a Gallup report published this week.
The report suggests that competing demands of work and home comprise part of the problem: working women who are parents or guardians are more likely than men who are parents to say they have declined or delayed a promotion at work because of personal or family obligations, and mothers are more likely than fathers to “strongly agree” that they are the default responders for unexpected child care issues.
I dunno if I’m in the 4/10 admitting it or the 6/10 lying about it but I’m stressed 20/7 (a generous four hours of REM sleep).
You have non-stressful dreams? Lucky.
I dreamed the other day I totaled my car in a bad accident and then went and bought an Acura and was happy with it.
I don’t know what that says about my brain that “bad accident totalling my car” wasn’t stressful.
