'I feel like I'm failing at everything'

The pandemic has pushed many working mothers to breaking point, often juggling a full-time job with home schooling their children.

Mum-of-three 'Annie' told Emma Barnett about the impact its been having on her, and why she feels like she is "failing at everything" right now.

Woman's Hour discussed why the lions share of this responsibility is so often falling on women, how they are coping, and why so many are feeling guilty for complaining and reluctant to talk about their struggles.

Listen to the full discussion on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sounds to hear more from 'Annie' and other listeners, plus Sam Smethers, who recently stepped back from her role as chief executive of the Fawcett Society, and Leann Cross, the Director of Homestart in Greenwich.
