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.

It may be a different type of stress than say office work, but your wife's body has been through a traumatic year, is still recovering and it's a massive (yet amazing) concern to be responsible every day for a new life! And it's a a 24/7 job. Maybe ask her if she'd like to swap for a month ;)
