Working parents are so busy juggling their lives that they get only 90 minutes a day to themselves, a study has revealed. Hectic work schedules and the demands of bringing up children mean spare time for parents is at a premium, the research found.

  现在,为人父母可不是件容易的活儿,特别当你还得分心忙工作,整天的心思都扑在了这两件事儿上,据一项调查结果显示,工作的父母们每天可以完全支配的时间仅有90分钟左右。繁忙的工作计划以及养儿育女的重担便意味着,闲暇时光对于他们来说已然是种奢侈。

  The study of 3,000 working mums and dads shows the average person wakes up at 6.42am and does not manage to get back into bed until 10.45pm.

  调查涉及了3000为职业父亲母亲,他们平均每天清早6:42起床,自此一直得忙乎到晚间10:45才得以上床歇息。

  He or she will spend eight hours and 12 minutes working every day – about seven hours in the office and another hour and a quarter remotely, tapping away on their laptop. After rising early, the average working parent will spend a total of 55 minutes showering, dressing and eating breakfast.

  每天,他们花在工作上的时间为8小时12分钟,其中的7小时是在办公室度过,另外的1个多小时则是在个人笔记本上“加班”。 早早起身的父母们只有55分钟的时间可以用来洗澡穿衣打扮和吃早餐。

  Another 47 minutes will be dedicated to getting the children ready for their day at school or nursery – washing and dressing them, packing their bags, feeding them breakfast and brushing their teeth. Collecting the children from school, nursery, childcare or after-school clubs consumes another 33 minutes a day, and preparing and eating dinner takes 46 minutes.

  另外的47分钟将花在帮孩子们洗脸漱口、穿衣戴帽、整理书包、享用早餐,直至送上校车才完毕。而接送孩子上下学,参加兴趣辅导班等事又将花掉父母们33分钟的时间,晚餐则是需要46分钟的准备时间。

  Parents then get an hour and nine minutes with their children before they go to bed, and the household chores take up another hour and 13 minutes. That hectic schedule leaves exhausted mums and dads only an hour and a half to relax and unwind.

  终于,在孩子们上床睡觉前,父母们有了1小时9分钟的时间与他们所相处,接下来,打扫做家务等事情又要花掉1小时13分钟。 如此密集于繁忙的日程安排让身心俱疲的父母们仅有一个半小时的时间来用于放松身心。
