Work at home for women – a source of stress



    

The results of a new study conducted in the USA show that the housework: cooking dinner or Breakfast, getting the kids to school is for women a major source of stress.

If men are much happier at home, women are much more comfortable in the office. Most working women prefer to be at work than to cook or clean the house. According to researchers, the main reason for this is in a large part of domestic work on women. The data indicate that women experience more negative feelings before the upcoming weekend, before going to work on Monday.





Researchers monitored 122 men and women, and they analysed saliva six times a day to check cortisol levels. Participants were also asked to record their stress levels in different parts of the day. It turned out that the majority of the stress hormone levels were higher at home compared to work.

Professor Sarah Domasky from the University of Pennsylvania says, " the Reason may be that the order of the day with his family is exhausting for many people. To prepare kids to school, prepare Breakfast in the morning is stressful. When you come home, you need to prepare dinner and make sure kids do their homework, before you crash into bed, having no time for yourself." Therefore, according to him, women are happier at work.
