Working moms are under increasing pressure at work and at home. The State of Motherhood 2025 Survey Report from Motherly noted that 46% of employed mothers, including 50% of millennials, have considered leaving their jobs because of the cost and stress of childcare.
In many households, mothers shoulder more than half of the family responsibilities while also navigating high expectations from employers. According to the 2025 FlexJobs Working Parents Report, half of working parents surveyed said employers hold mothers to higher standards than fathers.
