Matt, I didn't mean to make it sound like you are a dead beat when I asked about the kids. I am very sorry if it sounded like that. I was just wondering. As my wife has told me before, theres alot on her than just her butt to kiss. So I think I would start kissing else where first.

Update:
Even with the exceptionally wrong way I handled myself last weekend, this weekend went very well. My wife has begun to take an active part in the kids while they are with us (huge problem before last weekend), and we all had a wonderful time while they were with us.
Thank you all for your great advice, slight sarcasm, and enthusiastic outlooks. Maybe someday I'll start a forum for new husbands.

glad it's working out

maybe you all just need more time to develop a routine
logistically it sounds like a handful to just gather the troops
glad your wife is taking a more active part, that will help a lot!
I find with my girl, talk less and mean more, and if I even think an apology is called for out it comes - with meaning and from the heart

And an apology should NEVER be followed by "...but..." I learned from my ex-wife that "but" just makes your apology null and void. It sounds like yuou are making excuses. Accept the blame, take your lumps and move on. It makes you a better man (person).

That is quite possibly the funniest thing that I have ever read....

anyhoo, she's gonna have to start working with you. Its apparent that you are trying your best, and the way that it sounds, if she gets aggravated over "10 or 15" minutes, something needs to change.

best of luck!
