The sheer volume is what stresses me

Hard to say. I live with another person and we have agreed on who does what so luckily we both end up doing the personally-least-stressing chores. And since I hate-hate-hate vacuuming and happen to live in a house with wooden floors (my country doesn't do full-room-carpets) I just sweep and mop instead.

If something stresses you insane amount, try to work around it. You don't need to do everything just like you were once told to do,

    Very busy and burdensome commitments are a "make or break" kind of thing, on a personal level for an individual or for a couple/cohabiting pair. You need to quickly figure out an efficient system to manage the essentials, or else you'll drown pretty quickly. Kids are a huge amount of work, especially alongside home chores and work..... I've seen people manage very well, and some who manage very poorly.
