New Delhi: An
overwhelming 77 percent of Indian mothers stopped pursuing their
dreams after their first child was born, even though 68 percent
said they still desired to chase their dreams, a survey has
revealed.
"What Moms Want" was conducted by P&G Thank You on the occasion of
Mother's Day, which is on May 12. It surveyed over 500 mothers in
the age bracket of 25-45 years and over 600 children between 18 to
45 years in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Lucknow.
"A total of 73 percent of mothers in Delhi admitted that they
stopped chasing their dreams after the birth of their child; the
figure was the highest in Hyderabad at 94 percent," said the
survey.
A whopping 91 percent of the mothers in Delhi said that they would
like it if their children fulfilled their dreams. Again, this
figure was the highest in Hyderabad at 100 percent, followed by
Mumbai at 95 percent.
At 36 percent, which is the highest among all the other cities,
mothers in Delhi admitted that they would like to have a career
while being a mother.
As far as children were concerned, 90 percent said that they
motivated their mother to pursue their dreams, and 95 percent of
them said they would like their mothers to take better care of
themselves.
