Have you ever heard of the lifetime channel, or greys anatomy? She says the 2 year old makes things difficult, I think its the depressing tv shows.
90% of TV programming is designed to suck out your soul. Apart from sports and The Walking Dead I do not watch tv.

I agree for the most part, Mad Men is a very good show, I also to get caught up in sitcoms 30 rock, new girl, parks and rec, but I try and reserve that for when I cant sleep at night, not while its a beautiful day out and while my daughters toys are littered throughout the house. I've gone off topic. Damn..
Depends on the 2 year old. Mine would run the energizer bunny into the ground. They only way to get anything clean is when 2 year old is asleep or to make cleaning up a game.
I always challanged my little one to a contest. I can pick your toys up faster than you, I can throw this away faster than you, I can throw your clothes in the hamper faster...now she has learned to clean by herself.
I also have a house full of girls things. God decided I was meant to raise girls only.
LOL, same here. Painting nails, crutling hair with a straightner, dressing dolls, names of specific cartoon characters...all skills I never thought I would have.

I know how exhausting she is, thats why I don't say anything when I get home from work and nothing has been done, I save my pissing and bitching for here, for the sanctity of my marriage. I start getting flustered after about an hour of her climbing all over me, so I understand how she feels, but a man can just want to come home to a clean house sometimes right?

Nothing has been done? What should have been done? I am very curious about the domestic habits or lack thereof of your wife.

Oh, I'm not a chauvinist although it may sound like it. When I say nothing has been done, I mean nothing, literally nothing, not one sock on the floor has been moved, not one dish has been put in the dishwasher, not one toy has been put away, not one single thing has been done. 9 times out of 10 I will get home and my daughter will be taking a nap and my wife will be lying in bed watching greys anatomy. No laundry done, none of her makeup in the bathroom put away, nothing. So i get home and I help clean, which I am totally fine with, I really am, I am just at work all day, it would be nice to see something done while I have been gone for 8 hours. No matter how small, just something. I am not exaggerating when I say NOTHING has been done. Other than eating and watching tv, from my perception at least. It usually bothers me very little, until she will step on my shoe or something and will freak out yelling about how I don't do anything around the house, which she is right, I should do more, but I am not home for 9 hours all day everyday, watching tv.
****, now I sound like a dick head.

Was she like this before you had kids? If so, and these signs were fairly obvious, then my question is, what did you think would happen? If not, and this is all new, you need to be frank with her, tell her you're unhappy and that you refuse to live your life like this and refuse to teach your daughter bad habits that most likely will only get worse, for no other reason than your daughter's a tough cookie and your wife doesn't have the energy to truly raise her. She's the adult and needs to act like it. And since she can't seem to, you need to spell things out for her. Be mature about it. Don't sound selfish. Come at it from a teaching perspective which is what raising kids really is. And if she can't deal with it, you may need to be more blunt.
Sorry in advance if that was harsh. But I feel it's the truth. And no, you don't sound like a ********.

Sounds like a rough situation, kennykyle. I'm currently a full-time student and my wife has a full-time job which financially supports us (I put her through school, she's returning the favor). Since I'm the one who has a little extra time at home I've taken up the majority of the house chores, dishes, laundry, and cooking. I feel guilty when I lag on those things, which I sometimes do depending on how much school work I have for the week. Do you have many conversations about the delegation of duties? I know it can quickly incline toward the sexist "you're the wife" thing, but maybe you can cite my situation, a guy at home doing the home stuff because I'm in the best position to do it.

You don't sound like a dick but you should take it to the general forum.
