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.

Quite a bit of work actually. You are only focusing on the baby but there are household chores to be done too. Maybe you can consider doing what she may have done over the week... Let’s break it down (what we do on a stay home basis): - preparing and cooking for self and baby (if your baby is already starting on solid food) - prepare and bath the baby - washing, hanging, keeping and folding laundry - usual wipe, sweep, mopping of floors, baby play area, toys and other counter tops - buy groceries if needed - prepare and cook dinner for everyone - teach and entertain baby or bring baby out for a walk - change diapers every few hours - coax baby to sleep, to be quiet (that’s aside from finding time to go to the loo, bath or have her meal or take a breather)
