Many of the studies of stressful life events and health have used the Schedule of Recent Experiences, an instrument developed in the mid 1950s, or the Social Readjustment Rating Scale, an elaboration of this instrument developed by Holmes & Rahe in the mid 1970s. These instruments are not considered state-of-the-art at this time. A detailed history of the evolution of major stressful life event scales can be found in Cohen, Kessler and Underwood Gordon (1995; Chapter 1) and Wheaton & Turner (1995). Moreover, a reader planning to use a life events instrument is strongly encourage to read Wheaton & Turner's (1995) detailed discussion of issues in measuring stressful life events. There are a range of complex questions involved that cannot be address in this forum.

Conclusion
I had never given much thought to this subject until I returned to school at UHD. It was here I saw the mothers not only working and raising a family but also going to school. I was impressed to say the least. These were the true super moms. I thought I understood time management; this experience gave it a whole new meaning. I literally saw physical exhaustion in the night classes. I observed that the working mothers tended to socialize with each other. While researching this topic I found this a coping resource which reduces stress (Ekenrode and Gore 1991); inversely, contending with difficulties draws a much clearer mindset and relieves the prevalence and abundance of pressure.
This tangible support as displayed in the paper demonstrates how family support mirrors the importance...
Emotional and physical support becomes swiftly offset through the means incorporated by family communications or miscommunications. As has been illustrated, the birth of children requires a woman to assume more rather than less responsibility for household task along with the care. The typical role that conflicts at home and work and their effect on the mother, how they cope and what can be done to help, can be classified, categorized, systematized, grouped, or diagnosed and dealt with accordingly; the main point is that we all live consciously and question then research any difficulty -- especially before it invites any unwarranted or taboo complication onto the siblings.
Concerning the individual, or subject herein, the adage "don't put more on your plate than you can eat" or else "don't put more in your mouth than you can chew" shines a light on these concerns. Moreover, selection of the exact stress measure in concern to any individual depends upon the question being asked. Whether the level of stress is high or low, the negative or positive (constructive) response holds a greater bearing.

This may be because the environment may be either polluted, or too noisy, or too crowded, or there may be too much crowding, or it may be too cold, or too warm. The weather too plays an important part in creating stress in an individual, especially when the individual happens to be already stressed due to some reason or the other. Another main source of stress may be physiological, like
When the working mother effectively manages her job's demands and occupational stressors, instead of inevitably experiencing distress, she can experience growth and positive change as she faces and addresses challenges. In the midst of concerns relating to distress, the working mother would do good to remember that removing all stressors from work is frequently not feasible nor may it always be desirable. When one recognizes that the potential for positive
