Just a little understanding, please

You know, the girl in my family that I "get" the least is my wife. We've been together now for over 10 years and the more we go down the road of life, the more often I look at her and say to myself, "What?".
As an example, Claire has recently graced us with her presence. There have been several times in the past 3 weeks where I have tried to help out with her in the middle of the night, only to be told that I need to sleep because I have to go to work. Then I get a barrage of "I'm so tired" remarks for the next two days. I try to tell her (stupidly, I might add) that I offered to be up with Claire, but I am again met with the "but you have to work" line.
You'd think I'd have a clue what this all meant after 10 years. Sadly, 'tis not the case.

Give it up Rick. You'll NEVER understand. Repeat after me, "Yes, dear."

I'll enjoy reading your thoughts. It might give me some insight into my guy's mind. :)
