Sounds like the working moms need to kick their children's fathers' butts (whether they're still married to them or not) and get them to help out with all those stressful tasks like scheduling the kids' birthday parties and planning vacations.
We should have a society where one income of 40,000 a year can support a family in a decent neighborhood, where one person can work, while the other takes care of the home.
