Depends on how much work you do. 

Making dinner, light cleaning and laundry are pud for sure. 

I've never been one, but imo a hardcore SAHD has immaculate landscaping in his yard (done by himself, of course).  He can fix pretty much anything from cars to home-repair and probably has nearly every tool known to man as well as an adequate wood shop.  He probably also has a garden and supplements the groceries by bagging trophy game animals to help put food on the table. 

In this day and age where many women make a lot of money a hardcore SAHD might be more valuable than a SAHM.

i think any job in the world is probably pretty pud for a day. get two or three kids though, make them a couple of years older than yours and then watch them every day for a year. would be much, much harder i bet.

might depend on the age of the kid, because every once in a while when i stay home with my 4 year old, i am ready to go back to work by noon.

Yeah, after staying at home for a day with my kids (which is a blast), I am always thankful that I have never told my wife that it is a pud job to stay at home with the kids.

I spent 6 months in between jobs being a stay at home dad.  I would say it was PUD as well. I cleaned the house, cooked meals, washed dishes, washed and folded laundry,  took care of the lawn, performed maintenance on the  cars and boat, drove the kids to all their things like the doctor and soccer practices and still had time to take a daily nap. I don't know why I went back to work.

It is an important job. A good stay at home parent will make sure your kids grow up to be functioning normal adults. However, I would not say it is "hard" or "difficult" at all.
