Breaking: Moms find time to sneak in Netflix just like everyone else

Peak TV is how we connect with other people now, so what do you do if you've got no time to watch?

Netflix conducted a study with over 1,000 moms in the U.S. about how they find time in their schedules to stream TV -- how they "sneak" in their streaming and why they do it.

Almost all the women surveyed (97%) agreed that they had more “me time” before motherhood. The study found that three-quarters of U.S. moms (71%) admit to sneaking in TV “me-time” to keep up with their favorite shows in surprising ways and places. More of the Netflix research includes:

What are some creative ways that moms "sneak" TV? Glad you asked. There's the "Bathroom sneak” (40%), the “Beauty sneak” (27%), the “Hiding sneak” (21%), the “Health sneak” (15%), and the “Carpool sneak” (15%).

Some moms take breaks while working from home (22%), sitting in a parking lot (19%), running “errands” (19%), sitting in the driveway (17%), or even lying about other obligations (12%) (the study says "fibbing" but you know what it is).
