I have often asked about her day, but less lately. Sometimes she'll talk about it, but usually it's just "long".
My H used to say the same thing about his days at his previous job - "long". He wasn't too fond of that job.
Does she like being a nurse?

She may feel underappreciated, but I am coming to the conclusion that she is underappreciating herself, and projecting that on the rest of us. It's hard work through that.
Yes, it is.

S18 and his mom have a lot in common! When they get into it, it's like the irresistable force and the immovable object!
LOL!!! That's a good one!

I asked her if she wanted to do anything for the 4th last night. The kids were not all home at the time, but she said she'd talk to them about it.
Like most parents, she's putting the kids' interests before her own.
Did you and the boys already come up with ideas for the 4th, then ask for her input? Perhaps talk to the boys and say something like, "A, B, and C are great ideas, guys! Now let's let Mom choose which it will be (a, b, or c)."
