Why do mums wait to outsource for help?

It’s no secret that working mums have been struggling. It’s been a shitty, shitty year on so many levels with the additional pressure of working from home and in a lot of cases, homeschooling. And while research has found that men have been helping out more at home, it’s still mums that traditionally take on the bulk of the household management. That workload sometimes feels like it’s impossible to manage, and it never ends… The toll on our mental health is huge. Chrissie Davies runs Chaos To Calm Consultancy – a resource to help parents with child behaviors and parent education – and she wants to know why we’re waiting for permission to outsource for help, if we can get it.
