In response to what you said...I have been in your wife's situation and my H got frustrated too and gave up. You have to ask her how much help exactly she needs. Your definition of helping her w/ the kids and around the house may not be good enough. H says the same thing you do, I feel that if he would do it long enough and not mention it like he should be rewarded or something then that would be great. Men tend to think that they need to be praised for doing something that women tend to have always done. We are not going to praise you unless we are really feeling good(lol). You are supposed to be doing those things anyway. We dont get prasied for sacrificing and doing dinner and dishes daily so its a 50/50 thing. Thats what I tell my H.
