Busy mums across the UK are dreading becoming 'World Cup widows' due to an increase in levels of housework and lack of quality time with their partners, a new study has revealed.
The survey of 2070 Brits - conducted by laundry experts Dr. Beckmann - revealed a staggering 77% of women say their housework will triple during the World Cup due to partners and children being glued to the box.
87% of women said they spend significantly less quality time with their other halves during the World Cup, with 43% saying they can become depressed at the lack of attention.
The survey also reveals that mums across the country expect to see the average weekly wash increase by five times as the amount of time dads spend playing football with their kids jumps from 12 hours a year to a hugh 14 hours across a month.
In the course of an average 12 months, 87% of Brit dads admit they play football with their sons for less than a paltry 12 hours.
However, during June's 2010 World Cup tournament, dads all over the UK say they will spend around 14 hours playing football with their sons - resulting in laundry hell for mothers across the country!
An astonishing 67% of women polled admitted they're more likely to make a laundry faux pas when doing considerably more washing, with shrinking clothes the most common mistake - a crime which wouldn't make mum very popular if involving a favourite football shirt!
Steven Simpson, Dr. Beckmann spokesman, said:
As excited for the World Cup reaches fever pitch, men across the country are playing and watching tonnes of football with either their friends or children.
However, it seems they forgot the impact football obsession has on their other halves who admit to dreading the World Cup period as they feel neglected and have a mound of housework and laundry to deal with.
With the majority of women admitting they make more laundry faux pas when their wash loads increase, they may quickly find themselves in laundry hell!
