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.

I'm a SAHM . Like what most SAHM mentioned above , it is a 24/7 thingy.. no off day , no me time , on TOP of that u need to juggle housework , cooking etc etc.. it is not so easy jus by taking care over the weekends . Moreover u only have 1 child. 1 child is manageable if u only need to take care of the child n no need to do housework , cooking etc . I was a working Mom prior to that n frankly , I find working is easier in comparison to being a SAHM . You won't know how it feels until u quit your job with no income n be a SAHM to take care of your child alone n do housework n cook etc . Try it first then u will understand fully
