Moms say 16% of their diet is made of kids’ leftovers, such as sandwich crusts, a survey of 2,000 mothers found. The Talker Research survey commissioned by Sunsweet Growers Inc. also discovered that 90% of moms say motherhood is the hardest and most rewarding thing they’ve ever done. When it comes to tidbits of advice they’d give their younger selves, one participant said: “Give yourself grace — perfection isn’t the goal. Ask for help, sleep when you can and know this chaos is love in its purest form.” (Talker Research)
