Appreciation is a two-way street for both companies and customers. Customers hopefully appreciate the products they’re buying and the business should appreciate its customers. After all, you wouldn’t have a business if it weren’t for the customers. Sounds like a healthy relationship with a nice balance of give and take. But, that’s not always the case.

Being a mom has never been a more demanding job.

In the 1960s, the average mom spent about 10 hours a week on childcare, according to a study from Pew Research. But even though women now spend on average 25 hours a week working outside the home, we still devote more of our time to child care than our parents did.

The same study also found that nearly 8 in 10 adults think women face a lot of pressure to be an involved parent these days. Hop on Instagram and it’s easy to see why. We feel instant guilt when we compare ourselves to the mom who somehow found the time to not only pack their kid’s lunch, but also cut the sandwich into the shape of a dinosaur (what?!), decorate the lunch bag (why?!) and then snap the perfect pic for social media (ugh).
