ABSTRACT
Stress may be damaging and seriously impact a person’s physical and emotional health when it gets excessive. Stress comes in two types: acute and chronic, depending on how long it lasts. The term “acute stress” refers to stress that lasts only briefly. Contrarily, stress that persists for a longer period is referred to as chronic stress. The social, emotional, and academic adjustment of children can be influenced by parenting, and research has been done to identify the variables that influence parenting style. Stress from parenting is one such factor. Parenting stress is one of these elements. Excessive stress in the parenting role and in relationships between parents and children is known as parenting stress (Abidin, 1995). Questionnaire was used for subject information regarding stress among parents and their family environment. Total number of subjects/mothers was 20 (N=20). For all the computation purposes SPSS 16.00 version was used. According to this study, working mothers endure parental stress at a considerably higher rate than non-working mothers. The family environment of women who work and mothers who do not work did not significantly differ. Further evidence that parental stress is unrelated to the family environment comes from the fact that the dimensions of the family environment did not significantly correlate with the parental stress levels.
