She says we never go anywhere. We never do anything.
He asked where do you want to go? What do you want to do?
She replies. There you go again.

If I gave my hubby the silent treatment, he'd send me a thank you card. Best of luck Zach!

I think we need examples of these bad choices you have been making. I agree. In order to find the answer of what to give her, we need to find out on a scale of 1 to 10, the severity of your malfeasance. 1- forgetting her birthday. 10- showing the neighbor lady your weeny. Come on man, it's just us here. Spill it.

It’s nothing so bad as showing the neighbor lady my Mini Zach... she’s about 70, it would be a toss up if she’d keel over or decide to risk the prison time.
It’s more of, I’ve been working a lot to get some things done and she’s been stuck with the kids for an extended amount of time with no adult interaction.
I just wanted to spring for something nice for her, as she deserves it. I think the silent treatment has been more of her being wore out from chasing crib midgets and needs to decompress when I get home.
Bill.... you started semi strong, but tapered off at the end.

Sounds like a baby sitter you trust is the best gift. And a nice night out. If you wanna mess with her head though, after putting on the dog all night, go straight to bed (to sleep), like in a hurry, when you get home. You will be King again.

Chocolate, flowers, Champagne. If I had known about the effectiveness of that combo, I’d have been “luckier” in my youth.

Weekend getaway sans children. Find somewhere that has a day spa for her and take her out at night, or fix a nice dinner for her. Cabin in Broken bow, New Mexico, Hot Springs, beach house on Padre, etc. That’s what I’d do.

I am no professional counselor, but if she is wore out, give her rest. Sounds like she may just want you to prioritize her and the family instead of work.
Take her out. Or be the stay at home dad and let her go out, take a break for a weekend, or just get some alone time. My wife asks me to leave the house every night for an hour after our kid is down (I productively walk the dogs), so she can just sit on the couch and zone out and relax with nothing around her. Or she goes on a walk alone to get fresh air and relax. The restorative power for her energy and psyche of that hour alone is great.
What is her love language? Giving a gift may not even be the correct solution to show her how you really feel.
