家长们承认每周至少发生4次“育儿小意外”

Parents commit almost 4,000 “parenting mishaps” before their child moves out of the house, according to new research.

一项最新调查显示，英国父母在孩子搬出去之前会发生近4000起“育儿小意外”。

A survey of 2,000 parents (aged 23+) found the average parent commits 221 little hiccups per year – adding up to 3,978 between their child’s birth and age 18.

一项针对2000名家长(年龄在23岁以上)的调查发现，父母平均每年打嗝221次，从孩子出生到18岁总计3978次。

The top parenting “faux pas” was found to be allowing children to have too much screen time (65 percent), followed by accidentally teaching children swear words (42 percent) and letting children watch something that wasn’t age-appropriate (39 percent).

调查发现，父母最失礼的行为是让孩子看太多电视(65%)，其次是不小心教孩子说脏话(42%)，以及让孩子看一些与年龄不符的东西(39%)。

Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste, the survey uncovered the challenges that often come with modern parenting and found that when it comes to parenting, sometimes it’s about embracing the imperfections.

这项由OnePoll公司代表Boudreaux 's Butt Paste开展的调查揭示了现代育儿方式所面临的挑战，并发现在育儿方面，有时需要接受不完美的地方。

Results revealed that children are the most challenging to handle at age six and parents should watch out for their youngest – they’re the most likely to cause trouble.

调查结果显示，孩子在六岁时是最难对付的，父母应该注意他们最小的孩子——他们是最容易惹麻烦的。

Despite this, 50 percent of parents also admit their youngest child is their favorite (of those who have a favorite).

尽管如此，50%的父母也承认他们最喜欢最小的孩子。

With all the trouble little ones can get into, sometimes parents need a break from the chaos. Parents who were surveyed were willing to give up quite a bit if it meant their child would be perfectly behaved.

小的孩子可能会遇到很多麻烦，有时父母需要从混乱中解脱出来。接受调查的父母愿意放弃很多，如果这意味着他们的孩子会表现得很好。

Three in 10 would give up social media, while others were willing to sacrifice wine (30 percent) or Netflix (26 percent).

十分之三的人会放弃社交媒体，而其他人愿意放弃葡萄酒(30%)或Netflix(26%)。

When they need parenting advice, those surveyed turn first to their partner (42 percent), then to their mother (41 percent) or to other parents (31 percent).

当他们需要父母的建议时，被调查者首先向他们的伴侣(42%)求助，然后向他们的母亲(41%)或其他父母(31%)求助。

Today’s modern parent also utilizes technology, with 17 percent of parents using the internet and almost 10 percent looking toward social media for parenting advice.

如今的现代父母也利用科技，17%的父母使用互联网，近10%的父母通过社交媒体寻求育儿建议。

“Being a parent is the hardest job in the world and one that you truly can’t prepare for,” said Jeanne Collins, Vice President of Marketing at Prestige Consumer Healthcare. “From diapers and sleep routines to feeding schedules and all that baby stuff, the goal of the Butt Paste community is to be a source of fun amidst the chaos – one diaper change at a time!”

“为人父母是世界上最艰难的工作，你真的无法为此做好准备，”Prestige Consumer Healthcare营销副总裁珍妮·柯林斯(Jeanne Collins)说。“从尿不湿到日常睡眠，再到喂食时间表，以及所有的婴儿用品，贴屁贴社区的目标是成为混乱中乐趣的源泉——一次换一次尿布!”

Overall, it’s about embracing, not judging, the community of parents around you. In fact, surveyed parents agreed that the trend they’d most like to see go away in 2020 is mom shaming (64 percent).

总的来说，这是关于拥抱，而不是评判你周围的父母群体。事实上，被调查的父母一致认为，他们最希望看到的2020年消失的趋势是母亲的羞辱(64%)。

But even with resources to turn to, just 12 percent of respondents felt “very prepared” when they first became a parent – though an additional 44 percent felt “somewhat prepared.”

但即使有资源可以求助，也只有12%的受访者在第一次为人父母时感到“准备充分”，另有44%的人感到“有所准备”。

And when first becoming a parent, respondents were most surprised by the lack of sleep new parents get (50 percent), how hard it can be to get a new baby to fall asleep (37 percent) and the amount of stuff a baby comes with (31 percent).

当第一次为人父母时，受访者最惊讶的是新生儿父母睡眠不足(50%)，让新生儿入睡有多难(37%)，以及新生儿身上有多少东西(31%)。

But even feeling unprepared – and having a handful of “mishaps” per week – 66 percent of parents said they excel in teaching their children to be kind and compassionate.

但即使感到毫无准备——每周都会有几次“不幸”——66%的父母仍表示，他们擅长教导孩子善良和富有同情心。

To accomplish this, the majority of parents (54 percent) agree that the “authoritative” parenting style is most effective – being sensitive and responsive to children’s needs while maintaining sternness.

为了做到这一点，大多数家长(54%)同意“权威”的养育方式是最有效的——敏感和响应孩子的需求，同时保持严厉。
