Chrome, Firstly, have fun on your trip! I'm sure it will trigger a lot of memories but stay strong...rely on the inner strength you've gathered over the last year and you will come through even stronger.
Secondly, your wife is pulling a very common chick trick. She is trying to box you in, via guilt trips.
Instead of telling her how you want her to rely on YOU that way, you can pull a blackfoot on her and say "Woman, don't try to box me in. I didn't say I was *exclusively* looking forward to the end of nursing. I can look forward to the end and also enjoy the fact that this is our last nursing baby at the same time." All of it said with a sly smile, of course.
Because all of that is true. I know you are a good father and husband and love to see your W bonding with the kids. Sometimes I wonder if you have a little irrational jealousy of the kids (I wouldn't blame you at all, have gone through that myself) that she might see, but you sound like a person who wears their feelings on their sleeve so she would not be able to argue with the No Box statement. You love your kids AND your wife and it's apparent to even a virtual friend, like myself.
Have a good one! Coffeepot, ooops I mean honey...I've had a cup too many today.
