90 minutes a day to relaxYes, we are indeed very busy. A recent study of 3,000 working mothers and fathers has shown that working parents get only 90 minutes a day to themselves.

Another 47 minutes is 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.
Their commute to work, which also includes nursery and school drop-offs, takes nearly an hour.
Our typical parents spend eight hours and 12 minutes working every day - about seven hours in the office and another hour and a quarter, working from home.
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.
