[quote=Anonymous]Definitely call DB.

Then tell mb to go nap or garden or anything. That you’ve got both kids. Maybe you can take them on a walk around the neighborhood and just have mb stay at home with some quiet. 
Anything to just give mb a breather.

DB needs to get home and somehow delicately speak to mb.

Maybe suggest that everyday from x time to y time mb take a nap, a shower, get out of the house. That you’ve got the kids. (If she stays home, you go out on a walk. She goes out you stay home.)

And while yes we aren’t the housekeepers or cleaners. But maybe ask if you can do some laundry or run the dishwasher.

She probably is feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, defeated.

I once had an mb tell me that the night before her baby wouldn’t stop crying. LO was 4 months. She said the grabbed the side of the crib and just squeezed. She was so frustrated, she felt alone,tired, angry and upset (all with herself not the baby). 
I told her a lot of moms feel that way, it’s normal and you didn’t act on it. I told her that she can call me night or day when she feels that way. I asked if she wanted to nap (she still hadn’t returned to work) and she said yes. She slept the whole day and when her husband came home she woke up and explained to him what happened. I told them to order dinner,relax and just chill. That tomorrow I would start cooking dinners until things evened out.

While I added cooking to my duties, it didn’t last long.

To me we are there to help the whole family [/quote]
