No daughters here, said my piece about the boys and how she could ever look into their eyes and tell them that she is quitting, after that, never brought it up again.
I think it is a good thing to let it all out 1 or in my case 3 times, and then never raise your voice again about the sitch, unless something new develops, there is nothing else to be said, and she knows your position. Kinda like seeing you cry, I never did it in front of her, but I think letting them see how much hurt they can cause is a good thing, but only do it once. Never let them see it again. After that it looks pathetic and weak.
Just giving general ideas, not too sure about the jealous thing, maybe just a girl thing (I did have a younger sister, and she was a handful to my mom).
I do know that every now and then I get some jealous feeling when my wife is loving on my boys or the dog for that matter when she has not given me any kind of physical contact that day, but then I feel really bad about it, because everyone needs a little of that, even the dog. I have learned if I act pissy, I will for sure not get my turn, if I act cool and happy, when the dog and the boys are a sleep I get more than a hug.
