A recent study dictated that married women are more susceptible and prone to household stress than single women. This was cited due to reasons such as work, duties as a mother, and duties as a housewife. What was more surprising, however, was that the majority of their stress was attributed to how their husbands behaved! 

A survey dictates that 46% of wives and mother claim that their children are less prone to create drama or stress in the house, as opposed to their husbands!

The husband acts like an extra child.

Put, men are more carefree and likely to behave as children around children. One of the responders claimed that “A 7-year-old is going to be a 7-year-old. But a 35-year-old acting like a 7-year-old is more stressful because they should know better”. 

This often stems from the fact that fathers often tend to let it all go in the house and want to feel comfortable and extremely at ease at home. For the mother, however, things aren’t that much on the same page.

Since fathers are more likely to play with the children and indulge in frivolous activities, they often come off as mischievous and an accomplice to whatever the child might want to do. Mothers, on the other hand, are more calculating and smart with their decisions.

The prime way to work through this is by displaying unity. There should be an agreement between the parents that a singular decision should stand without any exceptions. Furthermore, the parents should ensure that they do their utmost to stay true to that rule.

Furthermore, it’s also of the utmost importance for equal engagement with the child in all the different activities that he/she partakes. This strikes the perfect balance that the child needs for well-rounded development, both intellectually and emotionally.

Likewise, parents should ensure that they complement each other’s effort as opposed to cut them off. Doing the former would ensure that both the parents feel good with their progress, and the child gets to reap all the benefits as well.

Household chores can get overwhelming

One in every five women complains that they often feel like they’re the only ones who want to keep the house running. It is normally perceived that men don’t help much around the house; a statement that is quite true in a lot of scenarios. 

To put things in perspective, working alone to keep the house running optimally can get quite stressful if there isn’t any reward or appreciation involved. Down the road, this can be a detrimental factor when making further important life decisions.

There should be no debate on the fact that husbands should help around with the housework as well. If that isn’t possible due to work hour or commitments, then the sincere effort should still be made at the least.

Women feel guilty and lack free time

Generally speaking, women are more prone to feeling guilty if they don’t address house matters as soon as possible. On top of that, stress from work and other factors can make the whole ordeal even more stressful. 

Since mothers spend the bulk of their times attending to chores, they often have no time left for doing things they truly want. In the event that they do, they feel guilty that they might be missing out on something to be done around the house.

Stress, associated with guilt, then stems from this major fact. Hence, a mother is more likely to stress herself out if she feels that the house is lacking in any manner.

As mentioned above, the prime differential here is unity as well. Since there are two adults under one roof, it’s fair to state that both of them should operate in unity as opposed to behaving as separate entities. 

To make sure that everything truly pays off, it’s best to invest or consult a therapist who can help you work through the guilt or better help you realize and tackle this predicament.
