Evenflo's recently released survey of 500 American parents reveals some interesting disparities between moms and dads.
For instance, 47 percent of moms say they have less sex now than before they had kids (no duh). The interesting part? Only 20 percent of dads made the same claim. Which makes you wonder who the dads are getting busy with...or who's lying.
As for the details: 41 percent relied on quickies while a quarter got busy during naptime.
Other disparities emerged in what annoys parents during playdates: 73 percent of moms get irked by other parents ignoring their child's misbehavior, while only 30 percent of dads said that was annoying. Dads were more likely to be annoyed when parents bragged about their children. One of the most fascinating disparities was in how men and women react when other parents brag about their parenting skills: Nearly a quarter of dads disliked it, but only 6 percent of moms said it annoyed them.
The survey is part of Evenflo's Savvy Parent Guides, which feature webisodes, how-to guides and parent feedback.
Do these stats square with your experience? And who's telling the truth about sex after babies, the moms or the dads?
