This Mother's Day is a special day for many women across America, because it means putting their feet up. According to the U.S Department of Labor, 70 percent of moms with children under 18 participate in the workforce, and according to juice company Welch which did a study of 2,000 American moms, being a mother is like holding down two full-time jobs (98 hours or work per week).
