The new mother left most of her time to her children.
Having children is something to be happy about. But a recent survey in Britain found that women who are first-time mothers feel most lonely in the first year after their children are born. The main reason is that they have no time and energy to contact relatives and friends during childbirth and maternity leave, thus being out of touch with the outside world.
Nearly 90% lost social life.
The British "Mom and Baby" magazine and Tesco Supermarket Co., Ltd. jointly conducted a survey on about 2,000 new mothers with an average age of 29. It turns out that many of them need to work hard to adapt to the new identity of "mother".
About two-thirds of new mothers said that they lived far away from their mothers and had little contact with them. In addition, they basically lost contact with other relatives, friends and colleagues. More than half of new mothers feel "lonely and isolated". Among the women surveyed, on average, each person has only 90 minutes a day to get in touch with people except their husbands and children, and the rest is given to the children.
Many new mothers say that after the birth of their children, most of the quarrels between them and their partners are due to this-they are "lonely and isolated", but their partners work or engage in social activities as usual.
Caused by modern lifestyle
The survey results said: "Less than 30% of new mothers’ mothers can help look after their children, while one third of new mothers’ mothers-in-law never help look after them."
British media reported that the lifestyle of modern society is that people live farther and farther away from their relatives and friends, which makes motherhood more challenging.
"Being away from work, giving birth to children has an arduous physical and psychological adaptation process for women. This is a brand-new life, which is completely different from what they used to live." Dalrymple, editor of Mommy and Baby magazine, said.
