I am wondering why my wife keeps saying that being a stay at home mum is such hard work. I am not trolling here - but i frankly dont understand. Seems simple enough to me. I have taken care of my kids and home all weekend before and it's definitely no where as stressful as having a job. Our kid is 11 months and is formula fed. We live in a 4 rm flat.

Also, does your wife have poor time management? Might be worth to sit down and actually understand what she does all day and what she struggles at.

I wouldn't compare it. It is different in its own ways. the struggles are different for both roles. I agree with what the mom above had mentioned.

i am a sahm with 1 LO & 1 cat can be stressing at times but still manageable. my hubby will help me when he is back from work & on weekends.

Changing of her usual lifestyle play a part. Plus she still need to do housework and definitely not as much me-time as previous

i pray hard my partner doesnt think like this whenever i decided to stop working to be SAHM in future hahahahhahahahahahahhhaha

Maintaining sanity is already a great ordeal, give your wife a pat on the back Believe me there are a thousand things to do

I was a stay a home dad for 1 month? Is my personal opinion that 1 kid is very manageable.. Anything more is a nightmare.

Honestly dont think you put yourself fully in the shoes of your wife.. what she meant is that she dont feel appreciated

I think its the long hours. Working in the office you can always leave work for the next day or take a tea break

Plus taking care of kids 5 days a week on repeat mode is not easy, do encourage your wife to find some me time
