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.

If you have it easy, congrats to you! Maybe you are really good with children and don't find it a chore taking care of them, or your kid behaves himself around you. And life is definitely easier when you have only 1 child. Also, wait till your child learns how to walk, run and climb on furniture. Then, SAHM becomes a harder job. I was a SAHM only during my maternity leave, and I would say it's tough when you got to keep your eyes on your child no matter what you are doing (even going to the toilet or showering). The biggest sacrifice is a SAHM's personal time - there is just no more left.
