Stress and Anxiety in Mothers

TLDR: Stress and Anxiety in Mothers
In the forum thread initiated by Nomad, the discussion centers around whether mothers find their spouses or their children to be more stressful. Nomad references a 2013 study where 46% of mothers reported feeling more stressed by their husbands than by their children. The thread invites mothers to share their personal experiences and perspectives on this topic. Participants in the discussion contribute various viewpoints, with some agreeing that managing marital relationships can indeed be more stressful, while others emphasize the challenges and stresses of parenting. The conversation reflects a mix of experiences and opinions, with no clear consensus emerging from the participants' responses.
Parenting is stressful, maintaining relationships is also stressful. If you are a mother, what do you find more stressful: handling your kids or your spouse? Interestingly, in a 2013 study, 46 percent of mothers said their husbands gave them more stress and anxiety attacks compared to the kids.
What do you think, do spouses give you more stress than the kids?
