DW Does this Sh*t All the Time

[Anonymous]

Did she give a reason why she couldn't take DD to school? Seems to me that's pretty much her job, since she's a SAH

OP- I'm sure there's more to this dynamic. So instead of reacting "no, I told you..." Ask her what's going on - kindly, not accusingly. Arrange for other transportation. But most of all, communicate on a personal level and find out why she does this. Is it to get your attention? Maybe you need to spend more time together. Is it to get back at you for being gone all the time? Be gone less and help more.

But you had time to write this - you're not "that" important, obviously.

Newsflash, everyone in DC thinks they are important. I doubt the cruise missile launch will happen if you don't fill out the excel spreadsheet and form sitting on your desk.

Your ego is way over inflated. You need to probably take another job and calm down. I would be pissed at you if this was your attitude all around.

OP, I'm confused. Who usually takes your daughter to school?

Most days DW takes her to school, unless she has something else in the morning. In that case, I take her.

Do you share a car, or do you each have your own car?

Since she is SAH, what else does she have in the morning going on?

Op, what's your question? It's clear you are stuck in an unhealthy loop, but you haven't address any of the feedback pointing out your dynamic, you just keep litigating the offense.

"This is the most important thing I'll ever do, Jenny. I have to do it well."

"It's not more important than your marriage."

"It is more important than my marriage, right now. These few years while I'm doing this, yes, it's more important than my marriage."


I so identify with Leo McGarry in this.

Nothing. It was a vent.

If you're that busy, invest your little time off talking with your wife and child instead of posting in DCUM. Do something more productive for your family.

Apparently you two share the duty of taking your daughter to school in the morning. Your wife must have something going on in the morning that you are aware of - right? Is she taking a college class? Is she expected to volunteer somewhere? etc.. Is there anything preventing you from arranging for a back up person to take your daughter to school?

I think you've left out some of the details here. Good luck, though.

OP, you sound like a really mean person. So vitriolic. Threatening divorce because of this?

You realize that your behavior towards your wife is setting up the example for the kind of husband your daughter will marry? One who regularly (?) puts his work before his family, who probably tell his wife regularly how much he appreciates what she does for the family, one who spews contempt at his wife when she clearly needs your affection and support.
