You REALLY need to change your attitude about your wife's parenting. I can tell you as a mother that when someone criticizes my parenting it is just about the worst thing they could EVER say to me.

When my H was living with OW he said, "my wife wasn't always a good mom" (he didn't say this directly to me but I found out about it. He thinks I am too strict. But anyway, I still can't forgive him for saying this.
Even if you don't say it to her the critical mindset is detrimental to your relationship with her (marriage or co parent)

Please, unless it's REALLY harming the kids try to work on your attitude that you are a superior parent.
What does your wife do that enriches the children's lives that you don't?
Life isn't about memorizing multiplication or science facts, it's about a balance of experiences/fun/education.....

I can't remember whose signature line has this quote but I say it to myself all the time when I want to go off on a pretentious binge yelling at my H.....
"You can either be right or be happy"

I want you to make a list of ten things your wife does that enriches the children's lives. Post the list and write it down. Whenever you are starting to go off the deep end with negative thinking reread the list.
