Some 21% of stay-at-home mums who had left their jobs were found to have been their family's main breadwinner.
The report, which was carried out for the investment company Nutmeg.com by Opinium, discovered that another one in five women who are their family's largest earner are unhappy about it because it makes it harder for them to give up their jobs to bring up their kids.
Elsewhere, just under half of women in a relationship were found to give up work or go part-time in order to raise children, while fewer than one in 12 men left or cut back on their work to be full-time fathers.
Women who are the biggest earner are also said to be less pleased with their status.
The report said: "The responsibility of earning more money has a negative impact on just under one in five female breadwinners who say that it makes them feel more restricted and they feel less free to change jobs or take maternity leave."
Men were also said to be less unhappy about their wife or partner earning more money than then, with only 14% of those whose wife earned more saying it caused tension between them.
