[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for the constructive feedback.  Also, thanks for confirming that it doesn't matter what you post, someone in anonymous internet land will call you an asshole.

FWIW, I get up early, about 6am when our kids wake up.  We try to keep quiet but kids are kids.  If we can sneak out, we do so, but this morning she woke up from me trying to sneak back in the bedroom to get my sweater.

Her general response is that the kids are a handful and its not fair I get saddled with them 2 on 1.  Perhaps its because she is with them all day - and yes, if I have them all day, I am over them too - but since I haven't seen them, I am fresh and ready.  We used to leave the house immediately for the donuts and coffee routine but 6am is early.  I am thinking of scheduling this a day a month so she can expect it and not feel guilty if its only occasional.

Someone upthread pegged her correctly, she is (was) an attorney at a biglaw firm before SAHM 8 years ago.  She does everything to the max.  We are very different in that respect.[/quote]
