According to a recent poll by Parenting magazine and AmericaOnline, four out of five moms said that when their children cry at night, they're the ones who comfort them. Only 15 percent share those duties with Dad.

Among other findings:

• Sixteen percent of moms get the eight hours of sleep needed to feel refreshed. More than half get six hours or less.

• Twenty-two percent let their kids stay up late when Daddy isn't home.

• The top four stalling tactics for kids when they don't want to go to bed: asking for a glass of water, asking for another story, complaining that the room is too dark or too light, and begging for another bathroom trip.
