- You know it is funny sometimes it is either one or the other, either I dont do enough at home or vice versa. I think your doing a great job in terms of helping out around the house, but like the other post mentioned something else is going on there. Maybe it is more emotional than anything else. Do you guys do things together without the kiddo. One of the things that was bothering my wife for a while was that she felt that her life was like a neverending circle of the same tasks and chores. Try taking her out of that circle and doing things with her that doesnt involve cleaning or cooking. I think that will help but may not be the answer. You and her need to communicate, tell her that your not a mind reader and she has to be straigh forward for you to understand. I know that works because I told my wife the same thing and then she opened up. Us men are like that we need our wifes to give it to us straight for us to understand. Hey good luck and good job..
