[quote=Anonymous]My ex tried to pull this. It was difficult working 50 hours a week, walking in the door, cooking dinner, cleaning up from the day (that I wasn't a part of) and then crashing. She claimed that her time with the kids kept her from doing the basic household stuff like cooking and cleaning and laundry (she worked with our oldest, but eventually quit when pregnant with our second). This was the case even though our oldest went to preschool from 8-3. Long story short, my wife was basically depressed, but she refused to get therapy or treatment. So, I spent two years trying to make things work until I hit a point of no return and we divorced. It turned out that my wife's avoiding her own depression continued in the form of moving overseas to teach English. Oddly, I am the primary parent (main custodial parent) and still work full time. My wife skypes the kids occasionally but hasn't seen them in three years. [/quote]
