[quote=Anonymous]I think emotions and stress levels are high with the new baby/maternity leave. I’d try to show your wife some grace and understanding-yet not make any major changes right now. This is really a temporary phase. You are not doing anything wrong but she isn’t either. It is a hectic time with the kids. Can you hire some help for your wife, temporarily? When I was in a situation similar to your wife, I hired a temporary sitter a few mornings/wk and it was a real lifesaver. Maybe someone for a few afternoons in your case? Sitter could watch the baby for a few hours- wife can get a little bit of kid free time and then do preschool pickup. Would also be helpful to you, as it may lessen some demands. Then see how things go when wife is back at work. [/quote]
