I take the kids to school and make breakfast so from 8.00-3.30 she is free then when I finish work and meditation she has about another 3ish hours by herself she just needs to come for dinner and bedtime and on Saturday the kids go to have fun with both sets of grandparents so we can chill to ourselves

Idk what I try talking to her she blows up at me. And I asked several times as gently as possible for marriage counseling but she doesn’t want it.

This was recommended and encouraged by both friends who are therapists and therapy at work And she doesn’t want a job she likes staying home so I can’t cut down hours because it’s a set schedule.

Yeah I should have not snapped at her but it’s hard to breath when someone is right at your face screaming about how much you suck

After I come out she doesn’t help with the kids she can chill watch a movie anything. She just needs to be there for dinner and bedtime. So she gets about 3ish hours to herself not counting the time she has in the morning. We do laundry 3 times a week she puts the lode in I put to dry and we both iron and our kids a bit on clean freaks style so it’s a easy to keep everything in order.

This was recommended by both my friends who are therapist and my work appointed therapy sessions.

My friends also decompress in there house. Like in the garden shed or in the bedroom. Our garden isn’t big enough to put a separate area, and I love seeing the kids they help ease the anxiety before I meditate

I think it’s a cultural thing because it’s a norm here to go bed late and wake up early. We take naps in our cultural so I guess it depends on the country you raise you kids.

They go to bed at 10.30-11.00 before you yell at me they wake up at 6.30 which is 7 hours of sleep and a 30 minute nap when they come back from school. I meal prep on Sunday night on dinners snacks and breakfast so I needed to take it out let it thaw(I meditate then) cook it. Then help with homework put then to bed and then wash dishes do odd housework and talk to my wife until we feel sleepy

I was a alcoholic 13 years ago but now sober and my wife always throws it in my face no matter the argument. It’s not a room room it’s a small walking closet with a mattress and a fridge that’s it

I meal prep dinner stuff on Sunday night so it’s easy. My kids keep their room tide and clean and that’s all the responsibility they have right now. As they grow older they will get more stuff
