[quote=Anonymous]To address the OP directly, there could be many reasons for DW's evasion of your questioning. Perhaps she feels overwhelmed by the scope of these long-term projects you mention. Perhaps her skills as, say, a handyman, if that's the case, are limited and it's difficult for her to get going. It's possible her time during the day is her only privacy and she evades your questions to protect her privacy - not entirely reasonable but possible. We're not all WonderWoman. i also would consider one PPs suggestion that her time "off" do not coincide with your time "off." E.g. I am on duty during the evenings, cooking, cleaning up after dinner, getting lunches ready and getting kids into bed, while that's DH's time off. So perhaps she's taking time during the day to paint her nails, bathe, veg ... . It's also possible the the kids only recently started school full time - is the youngest a kindergartner? Maybe she's adjusting to this new normal and trying to find her own space/time continuum.[/quote]
