A new survey of 7000 mothers in the US say that 3 is the most stressful number when it comes to children.

From Today.com:

Mothers of three children stress more than moms of one or two, while mothers of four or more children actually report lower stress levels, according to an exclusive TODAYMoms.com survey of more than 7,000 U.S. mothers released Monday. Call it the Duggar effect: Once you get a certain critical mass of kids, life seems to get a bit easier.

“Going from one to two was an easy, breezy transition,” says Smokler, a Baltimore mom whose children are 5, 7 and 9. “Two to three, everything was turned upside down. I do not feel like I have it together. You only have two hands! Just crossing the street and not being able to physically hold all their hands I find tremendously stressful.”

According to the survey, here are some of the top issues moms stress about:

• 46 percent of moms say their husbands/partners cause them more stress than their kids do.
• 72 percent of moms stress about how stressed they are.
• Biggest cause of stress: 60 percent say it’s lack of time to do everything that needs to get done.
• 60 percent of moms say raising girls is more stressful than raising boys.
• Nine out of 10 moms stress about staying fit and attractive.

Looks like the rumors are true. People Magazine has obtained public court documents showing that Jason Aldean has filed for divorce from his wife of 12 years, Jessica Ussery.

Reports surfaced last week that the couple has been living separately since January, and many speculate that their marital problems are a direct result of Aldean's "indiscretion" back in September, where he was photograhed in a bar kissing Brittany Kerr, a former American Idol contestant.

What I find interesting is that HE filed for divorce. Wouldn't you have expected that SHE would be the one to give Jason his walking papers if he was, in fact, cheating? Maybe she was trying to hold onto the marriage for the sake of their two daughters? Either way, it's a very sad story all around. I am a big believer in marriage, and I hate to see anyone's union come to an end. -Sarah

Billy Currington is facing charges of making "terroristic threats" against a fellow Georgia resident, reports the Athens Banner-Herald. Details are few and far between at this time, but the newspaper claims the country singer was indicted by the Chatham County Grand Jury on Wednesday (April 24) for allegedly inflicting mental anguish on Charles Harvey Ferrelle. The accuser is over the age of 65, thus Currington faces an additional charge of elderly abuse.

Local news station WSAV further reports that the incident happened April 15 in the waters off Tybee Island, a coastal town in Georgia. Police tell the news station that Currington and Ferrelle had a verbal argument at a dock owned by the singer. After Farrelle reportedly moved to a nearby dock, Currington boarded his boat and followed, shortly after which police became involved. No one was arrested.
