Why cant we ever say " actually it's really easy"

About our life choices? In real life people keep saying " wow four children, that must be hard work" or online things like " being a sahm is such hard work" ( not quoting anyone just a general statement) and a million other phrases that say the same sort of thing on a range of topics. Why doesn't anyone ever say something like having more kids isn't tough if it was i would have stopped by now or in my case no being a sahm is easy i have loads of spare time and enjoy watching cbeebies?.

Driving i find hard (keep failing my test) and many people agree with me but not lifestyle choices. Aibu to think that people are afraid to admit that they DONT struggle when it comes to their children or life choices?

( sorry about the overuse of the word choices - cant think how else to say it)

immortalbeloved, you are probably right, I'm sure if I were a SAHM, I would find it not only enjoyable (which I do), but easy as well.

What I find hard is not the kids, but finding the balance between my pt management job and the needs of three boys from 13 to 16 months. I would not change my lot for the world though, I love them and my husband, and I also enjoy my job!! Grin
