I can relate to this as well. W commented on how its nice to see me being a real father to my D during this. If I'm off I take her by myself all day which is something I never did before. Mostly because if I was off we would do stuff together or W would take D and I would play golf or something. I was not as supportive as I should have been thats for sure. I feel alot more connected with my D now having spent alot of alone time with her.
Great job avoiding the argument with your W. That probably really threw her off.
