Staying Home With Your Kids Is Harder Than Going to Work, Says a New Survey

The survey also found that 55 percent of moms and dads believed that having a baby is hard work — even with a strong support system — while 25 percent of parents thought having a baby was easy.

Interestingly enough, the poll proved it really does take a village to raise a little one. Forty-five percent of the women surveyed said they wouldn't be able to handle caring for an infant without their mom's advice.

Some other interesting takeaways? Seventy-one percent of moms and dads think social media makes parenting more competitive and 22 percent of people felt the pressure to be a perfect parent.
