There may well be a back lash to this.
We have one DD (6 y/o) - and I can honestly say I have never really felt stressed/tired since she was born.
Me and my wife do the same level of caring, neither of us does anymore or less than the other and we split domestic stuff pretty evenly.
Maybe we have been lucky, but then again I don't think we have. When DW became pregnant neither of use worked and we had no where to live, so not not a stressful situation - over those 6 years we have worked hard and have a pretty good life etc.
Maybe it's has just been different for us compared to most - just that probably 80-90% of friends or people I speak to who have children (be it 1 or more) comment about how stressful it is and tiring.
I'm naturally quite a calm and laid back person so maybe that helps somewhat, my DW is different she can get very stressed over thing (not over DD though) and she has said she has never really felt stressed of tired from DD (apart from maybe the first 1-2 months from when she was born).
Does anyone else not find having kids stressful - or does anyone think I'm crazy to think it's not.
