BEATING BOREDOM: Mothers admitted to gaming when stressed and bored and while watching TV.
If you're struggling to find a present for a mother with school-age kids this year, don't play it safe with a box of chocolates: get her an App Store or Google Play gift card, because chances are she'll need it to buy access to the next level of Candy Crush Saga.
According to research from game network WildTangent, 80% of smartphone- or tablet-owning mothers are now gaming at least once a week and, if she's an expectant mother waiting for that due date to arrive, chances are she's playing multiple times every day — 68% of pregnant women admitted to doing so.
