The one thing that scratches my head and maybe the ladies can provide advice.
My wife has done a 180 with the kids.......I been documenting her time with the kids and its not looking great.
For example
Going out vs spending time with the kids. In the past she would never leave the kids that long. Our official child schedule is not even in place yet. She can come and go anytime she wants.
She rarely calls the kids to even say goodnight. Sometimes a text to me, to tell them goodnight.
She gets upset around them easily..
She has yet take all 3 kids by herself (after in laws left)
She forgot to do a family project with our middle son, she went to a football game (something she was never interested in before)
I know stress and healthy is an issue now...but I just feel like she has totally abandon her duties. I see her buying toys for the kids but that's not exactly parenting.
Upset with me, I understand but to distance herself from the kids is awkward.
My boys, barely ask about her now. One son used to always sleep with her, he now sleeps with me.
Today, my oldest made a comment why mom is never home anymore.....
My wife knows she needs to get healthy to be with the kids but constantly going out and not sleeping isn't helping.
Just baffled....I figure most mom's would feel more motherly and want to be close to the kids, especially during these times.
