My wife is constantly talking about how she has to do it all and I don't understand why. I think its because her sisters all have high powered careers.
I feel bad for her but I've made it clear I enjoy the breadwinner role. Not caregiver so I don't so anything with the kids.

To be clear, you're sexist. You could have said that the non-primary breadwinner should stay home, but you didn't. You had to make it about gender.

So your kids have been staying in school and camp from 9-6 through age 6-13?

What the heck is wrong with that?!
