My wife has been having an increasingly difficult problem with basic functioning. On days when I am at the office and she is home with the kids, the emotional state in the house is horrible when I get home. When I travel, it takes a week to get some balance back into the house upon my return.
She just doesn't have the patience to deal with our kids, or the ability to observe what's happening and to adapt to that.
The girls are total daddy's girls, but that's to be expected when I am the primary care taker and attention provider. In the morning, my wife checks her email and phone messages before even saying hi to the kids often.
We were talking about computer stuff tonight - and she laughed when she told me that she uses a derivative of "my three drama queens" for one of her log-ins. One of mine is also about our girls - "My three girls are really great". I told her that and she was quiet for a few seconds.
It's just rather sad that she has to keep reminding herself, even when away from her kids, that she is having difficulties with them. I much prefer to focus on the positive so when I see my kids, I am re-energized and happy to be with them and see them.
