Aren't you a great guy! Didn't say how old your kids are. Hire a babysitter and send her to an all day spa, if money is not a concern. Otherwise, give her a break when you get home from work. 30 minutes of down time can work miracles.

Give her a big hug when you walk in the door every night. Once in a while call her at lunch. Bring home dinner so she won't have to cook or clean up afterwards. Research for a public pool in your area - she can take them to swim & tire them out. Take the kids for a walk while she gets a quiet house & a bubble bath. Offer to give her a back rub at the end of the day. These things don't cost alot but show how much you are worth. Sometimes the gesture will be worth sooo much! Peace & God Bless

Look into hiring a teen in your area to help out a few hours a day. If $ is an issue, a lot of towns have free rec centers where you can drop off the kids for a few hours. If not available, help out as much as you can when you get home from work. It will be a tough summer but trust me, it is so much easier to go to work then be with the kids all day. Kudos to you for trying to help her. She is a lucky woman. Most men don't think about things like that!

Take the children out for a few hours.you could book an appointment at the hairdressers,give her some spends.she could have that treat while you take the kids.Do little things like bring the washing in.that is thoughtful.arrange for you all to go out for the day,even if its to the park with a frisby.see if you can get the kids in some kind of activity clubs.

take them as soon as you get home. let her have a quiet bath or a trip to the library. cook dinner and do the dishes.
help her structure things. for example help her make a plan for the next day like: breakfast, park, video games, lunch, swimming, coloring, snack, clean up rooms & house.
help her plan and stage what she needs (like lunch items etc.)
A schedule and structured plan will help. Then call during the day to help her stay on the schedule. THe above schedule is just an example. if you don't have access to swimming then run in the sprinkler. if you don't have video games then bicycle ride.
if no park then hide and seek. if no yard then picnic at the apartment...(you get the idea)

Give your wife the day off and take the kids somewhere and then get a babysitter/relative to take care of the kids and take her out to eat or treat her to a nice massage or bubble bath, i know thats what i would want my husband to do

giver her a break. taker her on a vacation just u and her. every week, make sure she has enough time for herself alone to do whatever she wants. surprise her every now and then. take the kids for a day, and have her see her friends. nice words every so often can never hurt. call her from work a few times a week just to let her know how important she is to u, don't babble. it can be short, but make it genuine.
prolly what she's feeling now is that she's overwhelmed, doesn't have time for herself. thisis a family, which means shared responsibility.
good luck.

Find a baby sitter for the kids and plan a weekend getaway for just you and your wife.When you get back home volunteer to keep the kids some of the nights and let her go out and have fun with her friends or whatever it is she wants to do.

Take the kids to Grandma's and then take the wife on a weekend getaway, or send her to a spa for a weekend or a day and YOU stay home with the kids.

Help her cook meals when you come home, clean a little extra for her, watch the kids on the weekend so she can have some alone time.. take her out to dinner on the weekend or when you can!
