More moms are admitting that social media can be a serious stress factor in their lives, and a new survey suggests that many of them are thinking about pulling the plug.
"For new moms it's a great place to ask for parenting advice, but then on the other side, you get some who are too opinionated and that can get in the way," said Francisa Morales, a stay-at-home-mom of two from New York. "I don't have time to post everything I do and that's where it seems like people are trying to make their lives seem perfect, when they post every little thing about their lives."
Just as mothers are affirming some frustrations with social media, researchers are establishing that there is in fact a connection between moms and social media stress.
The online survey found that out of 1,004 mothers, 53 percent of the women considered taking a break from social media. Sixty percent of younger moms ages 18 to 24 said they wish to cut back on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.
The opt-in survey was administered by Impulse Research, a communications and marketing research firm, and published by Current Lifestyle Marketing this year.
"Through ongoing research we started noticing a trend of moms commenting that they are getting sick of social, millennial moms can be particularly vocal about it," says Amy Colton, executive vice president of Current Marketing. "We wanted to check the trend, so we conducted quantitative research to confirm what we have been hearing."
