So I am going to hit on a previous topic, the sofa. It sounds like she's a) asking for her son's benefit, b) asking for your benefit and c) maybe holding something deep inside. I say the last because my wife balked at such an idea back in the spring when we both had some crazy travel schedules going and needed a lot of each other's help with getting the kids to school.
Now if you do this it does give you a HUGE opportunity to show her the new you. But you can't over do it in any way, make it subtle.
