[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It sounds to me like your wife is depressed OP[/b].

I wouldn't take it too personally right now.

[b]She is a SAHM who has little or no identity + her life revolves around basically three things: You, your children and the household. She most likely has not outside interests to speak of and feels as if she is in a rut. Plus caring for young children is very demanding work on a daily basis, even more so for those suffering from depression.[/b]

Is there any way you can convince her to get evaluated by a professional? It couldn't hurt and can only help.

If she is in fact depressed, some good medication can make a HUGE difference in everyone's life here.

Please consider my advice. It could make a world of difference to your precious children.

Good luck to all of you.[/quote]

DW here.  This was me until I started therapy and meds.  I was irritable all the time.  I would get angry at little things, and bigger things would bring out some serious rage.  There were times I wanted to get violent.  Not with my children, but I would imagine myself beating the shit out of some stranger cutting me off or something.  I would start getting panicky on sunday nights at the thought of being alone with the kids all week.

I would talk to your DW and see what's going on.  Maybe suggest therapy?  Get her some help.  A babysitter a couple of days a week so she can go out (even to run errands) with out the kids.  It's amazing the amount of stress being with two kids under 5 all day can cause a person, especially if they are high maintenance kids and especially if you have shit to do!
