[quote=Anonymous]Hey, this was my mother! My father would make sure we were awake for school before he left for work. We'd leave in the mornings and lock the door behind us. When we'd get home, our mom would be sleeping and leave us a note saying what time to wake her (before our dad got home) and what chores to do (empty dishwasher, walk dog, empty garbages, set the table, make broccoli, rice, etc.) and then she'd get up 10 or so minutes before he got home. She wasn't fooling anyone.

It took until I was in high school to realize she must be depressed. The only difference between her and OP's wife is that we all ate the same dinner.

OP, the good thing about this is that because you're so involved, if you have sons they will grow up thinking it's normal to be a highly-involved, non-lazy husband/father, and if you have daughters they will grow up to seek out a husband (if they're straight) who is highly involved.

My mother has denied being depressed, has never gotten help, and since my siblings and I were in college we've been encouraging our dad to divorce her. To this day he works and is out of the house for 11 hours each day only to come home and start laundry, cook and clean up from dinner, and do whatever else needs doing. He spends his entire weekends cleaning the house, doing errands, fixing things, etc.[/quote]
