Mothers of younger children were was also more optimistic about the future and more likely to report that their relationships with their children and family exceed or greatly exceed their expectations. The main cause of stress for a mother with a child under one year was managing the household finances, whereas a mother of a teenager was found to be more focused on maintaining or achieving their ideal body weight.
