9,563 Times Mum

‘’Not only the domestic chores but being constantly at the beck and call for your children – being called upon nearly 10,000 a year is a staggering amount.

British mothers will hear the word “mum” a staggering 9,563 times every year. A survey found the typical mother will hear cries, hollers and demands for ‘mummy’ or ‘mum’ 26 times a day on average.

Researchers polled mums with children still living at home and revealed a fascinating snapshot of their average year in numbers – with 3,686 being the number of times they are called upon for help. 

The nation’s mothers will also tackle 291 lots of homework, will drive 1,196 miles ferrying children to and from school and will do 499 loads of washing. 

In an average year, the typical mum will also wade through 239 piles of ironing, give 1,523 cuddles and clear away 941 toys or games, according to the poll by Crystal Ski Holidays (www.crystalski.co.uk)
