From work obligations to play dates, doctor's appointments and so much more, busy moms have a lot on their plates. But according to a new survey, many are having trouble juggling their parenting responsibilities with a risqué extra curricular activity -- infidelity.
Of 15,000 cheating mothers polled by infidelity site AshleyMadison.com, one in five said they've found themselves in a "sticky situation" while trying to balance motherhood with an affair.
But that's not all. In a press release published Tuesday, the site also revealed that they typically see the highest spike in female signups on the day after Mother's Day. In 2012, they saw a whopping 439 percent increase on that day as compared to a typical Monday.
"Mother's Day tends to magnify the flaws, leads to questions about the choices you have made, and ultimately fosters conclusions around doing something different for yourself," explains Ashley Madison founder and CEO Noel Biderman. "This latter choice tends to be the genesis of many women's journey into an affair."
