From an article on Today: "An exclusive [survey] of more than 7,000 U.S. mothers reveals that the average mom rates her stress level an 8.5 out of 10. What's got them so stressed? For 46 percent of moms, husbands are a bigger source of stress than kids. Often, moms complain, the fathers of their children are more like big kids than equal partners. Mom stress is fundamentally different than dad stress, women say, and the inability to see eye-to-eye with a partner can lead to, you guessed it, more stress."

But hold on because the article also acknowledged that the problem isn't just men—it's the challenge of working on a marriage and raising kids. The article continued with a word for mothers: Meanwhile, dads feel like they're doing more than ever with the kids and not getting any credit. "A TODAY Moms survey of 1,500 fathers found that two-thirds of dads say what they want most from their partner is just a little verbal acknowledgment, a 'good job' now and then."
