Say it ain’t so, moms.
According to an April online survey conducted by MomLogic.com and Insight Research Group, one in three mothers are turning to vices like overeating, drinking, drugs and gambling to cope with the recession.
In addition, of mothers whose partners have lost their jobs, a full 80 percent say they are feeling overwhelmed.
Significantly, for 27% of moms 25-34, the recession is impacting pregnancy plans: Although they want more children, they are going to wait.
The survey involved 450 mothers ages 25-55.
