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 is good that you feel less stress as compared to work. However, taking care of the kids on weekend alone doesnt mean it is easy. Did u try full weekends without a single help from your wife? Also, did u try to do household chores like (eg: washing clothes, ironing, cleaning the house, going market, preparing meals, etc) cox all these will be done on a daily basis for a stay home mum. Probably best gauge would be you trying out for 1 mth as a stay home dad. After the 1 mth, it could probably be better to say if its easy or tough. :)
