[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe think about your wife's day as a workday. Does she put in at least 8.5 hours, between getting kids ready for school in the morning and the cleaning/homework/dinner/bedtime duties when they come home? I suspect that her afternoons/evenings are probably busy. You probably get to relax after you come home from work and she deserves some time off work, too.

Or do you expect her to be working 10, 14, 24 hours a day?

This seems fair. And shuttling kids around is time that is not your own, even if it doesn't seem like hard work. Cooking and grocery shopping take a lot of time. Preparing crafts and playdates takes time.
 
 I waste a lot of time in the day. But I also do a lot of stuff without anyone realizing the time it took. But this is my first year with the kids both in school, and I definitely am looking for a job or grad school. Strangely, I don't take advantage of things I want to do (yoga, exercise, manicure, whatever) because it seems too decadent and time-wasting and I "should" be doing something productive, but then I waste the time on other stuff (internet) instead.[/quote]
