The commute for me is horrible.

If you have other reasons to be stressed that are not shown in the poll you may talk about them.

It's a combination of things, but work right now ranks the highest on the stress level meter.

Other stress factors --- My car breaking down today, and NO money ... but fortunately, I got some money back from money I lent out last year ...

Money... new relationship...

Definitely work for me. So much to do and not enough time in the day to get it done.

I would definitely say work is my major stressor. Too many hats to wear each day.

My health, lack of medical care, and tending the house w/o help are my "biggies".

School for me too. Daughter is now running a real close second and expect her to top school stress REAL SOON. :oops:

My health, I've got MORE problems than I've let on.....no one other than Michelle knows and actually, that's ABOUT it (*)! Our business is booming, we've got a *positive* cash flow once again, the commute "Phffft"...if it weren't for horses and cows, the commute is a PIECE O' CAKE.

(*)......it's a little pill called Xanax!

Other for me.
commute is an easy 10 minutes.
Work is manageable but it adds to it.

My biggest stressor is my home life. We have a very tight budget and I have to say no a lot. It seems that everyone is always asking me to do something for them. I'm the opposite. If I want something I'll do it myself. I'm working on teaching my kids to be independent and I'm starting to see some results, but it's taking time. I do more than my share of the house work.
I could go on.....

Ed. money is always a major stressor when you have a family. Sounds like you're off to a good start. Independence is the best and hardest lesson for a parent to teach. If you need to go on....... we're always here for ya.
Take care my friend

My biggest stress maker is my grandson who lives with hubby and I. His mommy frequently has to be at work at 5:00 am or 4:00 am when she works days or 2:00pm till midnight or later working at a Pix Gas station. My grandson is 3 , will be 4 in Mar, is a hyper active boy who I think is also dyslexic(?) since he still hasn't learned which shoe goes on which foot.He always wants to mess with things that he does not need to be messing with. My wish for the new year is that She can find a place of her own soon!

I've come to terms with most stressful situaitons. I see "challenges" at work, but rarely stress anymore.

Today, for example, I had one of our good clients from Payson AZ come down to meet me so I could tell them their prices are going to go up some 35% next month. When I asked them into my office, I started by saying, "Would you like to visit the grim reaper now? He's ready to see you." That didn't make the chore easier, but did add humor to an otherwise challenging moment.

I do get stressed over decisions my grown sons sometimes make...but then they are 26 and 31 and living in California...so what good does it do to stress over it.

So, while I am far from being immune from it, stress is NOT something I have much of the time. Instead, just challenges "for the moment."

Oh, yes; one major headache I have to deal with on a regular basis is our school district, in particular coppertop's teachers.

They "require" him (read: us) to spend money we don't have for some class project or another...the most recent is what in any other school would be an "elective" Science Fair diorama about volcanic activity, but "required" in his class. :grrr:

The very idea that student's parents are "made of money", and are expected to spend it on demand (with NO "lead time" to budget it into the family purse) irks me no end. And the Board? Fuggetaboudit...they back the teachers 110%.
