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 am a first time daddy over here, my boy just reached 7 months, truly agree with what most people have already said. playing with the kids or just helping up is totally different. put yourself in your wife shoes. give your wife a couple of days off from being staying home mom, and take over her duties. ensuring the baby is well taken care of, the house is in good condition and also not forgetting taking care of you after you are back from your work. It is always easier to say then do it yourself.
