[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife is a mommy martyr and it is wearing thin.  For example, last night she went out with her friend late, past midnight (totally cool with me).  I was planning on getting the kids out of the house this morning for breakfast then museums so she can sleep in and relax.  But she insists on getting up.  And she will be tired and crabby all day, which will ruin everyone's day.  You can imagine how our sex life is under the circumstances.

I am truly happy to take the kids for the morning/day.  I work a lot of hours so its nice to spend time with them.  She is a SAHM.  To be honest, its more enjoyable without her around the kids when she is in a crabby mood.

Can someone give me some insight as to why she insists on getting up and being with us 24/7?  Anything I can do to convince her to take time off?[/quote]

My guess is she feels she has to. She's painted herself into a box of supermom and superwife so she feels she has to do everything or she is somehow failing.

She's made it a competition for herself and her mom friends to one up each other. If she stayed into rest  then she couldn't sat how she does everything even on your day off.[/quote]
