Mama is here too - she is not absent. She has stayed at home for the past several years however for some reason she takes a partial absence when it comes to interacting with the daily house routine. She is an ace at laundry and loves our youngest very hard. She is here when our children get home and does care greatly for them. Perhaps I am hard to please - however I cannot seem to get participation in most household chores or the daily routine. If we did it together that would be awesome. I jump in whenever I can to help with the laundry as I want to keep a balance, however I am in overload mode - yikes.
@westcoastboy You're a good dad, and accepting mama's limitations seems to be the way you keep the peace in the home. That's the best thing in the world, for children. It's the most important thing, is not having their home become a war zone.
@Goralski A whole eight minutes. You take what you can get and are grateful for it. I do have now, but I am missing out on time with my wife for this. That said I am soliciting suggestions on how folks find that balance.
