From a woman's point of view. It sounds like the W is hanging around the computer while you are on it with your girls so that she can moniter what is being said. I get the feeling that she is worried that you will be 'bashing' her and if she is in the room then you won't do it in front of her. My advise is to never bash the other parent in front of the kids (even if you don't it is always a good rule to remember)and then the next time that she is in the peanut gallery making her little comments, I would ask the girls to give you a minute to talk to mommy, as they are getting ready to leave just say a quick love you and a talk to you in a minute to them. Then ask your wife the same questions that you have been asking on here. Why she does this? Then tell her to STOP it. Don't be 'diplomatic' about it. It's your time with the girls, not your time and hers. TELL HER TO STOP IT!! Stand up to her. She is only doing this b/c she knows you are allowing her to do it.

At least this is a jumping off point to standing up to her controlling ways and may get your foot in the door for a little respect from her.

P.S. I mean it when I tell you to tell the girls you love them. Being a woman, you telling me to stop it will tick me off for a bit and not want to let you do the computer thing with the girls but the girls would wear me down and and make me feel like the bad person not you. I hope that I am making since in all of this post.
