Women who can't communicate with their husbands have no business having children.

Something else I noticed was the "I have to do all the <thing>!" comments. I'd be willing to bet good money that at least half of those cases are because when the husband did do something, the wife nagged. Either he did it wrong or didn't communicate it the way she wanted it. So he just gave up. Why put in the effort to try to please her if it will never be enough unless he does it exactly the way she would do it? Better to let her nag over doing nothing than for her to nag over several small things.
I've seen that happen in other marriages. The wife doesn't understand that to most men, her husband included, if the return on an investment of time and energy is just a negative result then he'll just stop doing it.

Of course living with another person is going to stress you out sometimes but to see your husband as another job is awful. He is someone you are supposed to love and partner with, if you view him as a job your marriage is in trouble.
Reading this I thought this is why women should stay home whenever possible. We are going to unwarrantley stress over things when we have more on our plates then we were meant to handle. ie. Working outside the home- at least full time. Women naturally care for the home and nurture the children, it's our role and it's not a mans natural role. Funny how that still plays out when so many people fight against it. It is sad however that it is causing so much strife in marriages because we as a society can't seem to understand these basics.
Did they mock men for wanting to be appreciated for doing things with the kids and around the house? Don't women want this too?? We all would like encouragement and to know that our efforts are seen and appreciated.

That was just one giant whine fest. Sounds like they aren't communicating their needs and blaming everyone else for it. Even the ones who weren't expected to do all the household tasks still think they have to do all the household tasks, making themselves martyrs in order to virtue signal how hard they work and what a suffering mother they are.
Let your husband help. Speak up and say something. And the one who said her husband was just another chore, she's not going to be married for much longer, because he knows he means next to nothing to her. You can't cover up that much disdain towards your spouse and neglect their needs because they are "just another chore" and have them not get the picture.
Should be retitled "Women Stress Themselves Twice as Much as Necessary"

Absolutely! Worst was the woman quoted as saying, “it feels like I am the only adult in the house”(!?) ...made me cringe...

I love your title suggestion, it does fit the article much better.

So the article even points out that within the survey it's revealed that married heterosexual mothers are the least stressed. It also sounds like all these mothers are trying to do 2 jobs, a job out of the home and being a mother. Anyone who has two jobs is going to feel stressed. Maybe it's the second job that's the problem and not necessarily that husband who helps with household chores but "not enough". The elephant in the room is all I'm trying to point at.
