[quote=Anonymous]It is clear she is being unreasonable, but she is likely hormonal and exhausted and dealing with a newborn and a 4 year old on her own on a snow day is really hard. I bet the 4yo wanted to go outside and your wife spent 15 minutes getting her dressed only to spent 3 minutes outside and get snow down her coat and then the baby was screaming and the 4yo crying? On repeat over and over while you’re in your office and your wife is on the verge of a breakdown. I think you need to validate her feelings and promise to prioritize your family more and then just do whatever you’ve been doing. But don’t villainize your wife for her totally understandable frustration! There may be more snow day next week. Start planning now to hire a neighbor middle school or high school kid to come play with the 4yo for a few hours to give your wife a break! [/quote]
