Augusto, I agree with Cali on setting a boundary. There are appropriate times for listening and validating, but if your W is completely off the rails like that then that is not the time and that needs to be stopped. It sounds like her tirade was uncalled for, that the girls didn't actually do anything wrong. Next time I would say "there is no reason for you to be yelling at me or the kids like this, please stop or we will leave." Then if she continues, take the girls and leave. Go get ice cream or something. The idea is to put your wife on notice that crazy behavior like that will not be tolerated.
