The New York Times (5/5, Pearson) reports, “For two years, working parents in America have been running on fumes, hammered by the stress of remote schooling, day care closures, economic instability and social isolation.” And “now, a new report says that 66 percent of working parents meet the criteria for parental burnout – a nonclinical term that means they are so exhausted by the pressure of caring for their children, they feel they have nothing left to give.” The report(pdf), “published Thursday by researchers with Ohio State University, is based on an online survey of 1,285 working parents that was conducted between January 2021 and April 2021.”
