[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the DH with the overweight wife, have you ever asked your wife, after she complains about her weight, if there's anything you could do to make it easier for her?  If my dh said that to me, I'd take him up on it in a second - I'd love to be able to take a walk or jump on the treadmill while he handles some evening kid duties, or have him do the morning routine, etc., etc.[/quote]

I am already the primary parent and handle the majority of the child care (morning and evening duty), all of the cooking, most of the laundry and housekeeping. My DW has a relatively stressful job, a long commute and when she gets "downtime" she prefers to collapse on the couch and watch TV.  I don't begrudge this at all, but I also know that if I took our son even that little bit more, she would not choose to spend that time working out.  I am not about to start "nagging" her to work out.

When I have asked, her answer is generally "stop cooking" but when she cooks, she makes giant carbfests which are not weight losers for her, and they are weight gainers for me.  I am reducing portion size, which is her other big complaint.  However, she tends to eat a lot of junk during the day...and I'm not getting into policing an adult's food intake.[/quote]

Sorry, PP, that's a tough situation.  [/quote]
