[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who's cooking and cleaning up from dinner?

Take out food/eating out and grocery delivery services. More ready made meals/food so she can eat whenever.

Find more camps or classes. It's not too late.

Some childcare help is better than none. Hire a mother's helper to play with the oldest.

You don't need to leave the house for cleaning. "Fairly" clean is different than having someone else spend an hour scrubbing toliets for you.

Ask your parents anyway and fly them out for a few weeks if they're willing (and actually helpful). If they become a burden as a "guest" don't bother.

Dump the soccer coordinator role. Someone else can pick it up and it IS being a martyr if she won't let it go.

Now that I'm thinking about it, your wife is being a bit of a martyr. Cleaning and getting a sitter would be helpful. It's not black and white where they have to do 100% or 0%. Having SOME help is better than NONE and it sounds like your wife prefers the none.[/quote]
