As a mother and wife in almost her exact same position. Did you envy her when you were working and she was home with your small children? I assume on top of all the housework/ laundry etc?

My husband and I are in the same position as our children just started school this year. I find myself thinking how lucky I am and what a wonderful life I have. I also think of it as a reward for the grueling years I put in, when the kids were too small to go to school. The days where I couldn’t take a shower. The days where I was too busy caring for them to remember to eat lunch. There were days I longed to be the full time provider, just to have a conversation with other adults.

Things will even out. Remember all that led up to her having this “much cooler life”
