My wife tries to be a good mother, and much of it she does extremely well, but then she goes and makes some extremely illogical decision that have no basis in reality. I support her to show a united front in front of the kids, but the kids aren’t stupid and have figured out that it isn’t coming from me and are starting to resent her.

She’s always been like this, and it’s just something I’ve understood and accepted as part of the package that she is. The kids didn’t choose it though so it’s tough to understand why this happens.

When I say illogical, I mean things like they’re not allowed to go swimming at indoor pools. Outdoor pools or the lake are fine though. I have never been given a reason for this, it only started during/after covid.

Specific video games are banned for violence, despite other more violent or graphic games being approved. Usually just because they asked at a bad time, and instead of changing her mind later she just holds the line.

I’ve talked to her about it. She ain’t budging.

Sorry for the rant.
