[quote=Anonymous]So my wife stays at home to "raise the kids".  I have a FT job that demands long hours and some travel.  My wife, though she has the option to work PT, chooses to stay at home.  On her days home I'll often get the kids up, feed them breakfast and drop them off at school.  She may pack there lunch for them, but hardly does.  She also rarely gets them off to school.  I go to work and when I come home late in the day she'll often ask what I want for dinner. The kids will usually be eating pasta, Mac and cheese or chicken nuggets.  Many times the kids come home from school and complain that their mom is napping. My wife will often forget to drop of meds, doctors appointments, permission slips, homework assignments.  Most recently she chose not to buy gear for our son's camping trip because it was raining outside.  So I had to buy them for him after I got off of work. I stayed up packing my son's gear. The day of his trip my wife forgot to make sure hit towel was packed. In addition she forgot to pack his dinner.  On weekdays and weekends my wife will never go out with the kids - take them to the park or go for a walk.  She says she has "too much to do". I usually cram my weekends in with as much time with the kids - one because I enjoy and two because I want them to have fun.

In the entire scheme of things this is all trivial stuff. At the same time I can't help but feel like I've married someone who is checked out on life and - in the process - hurting our children.   Am I being too harsh?[/quote]
