Re: She does little to help around the house- we both work...

I think you need to both sit down and divide up all the jobs 50/50. Write them all down and put them somewhere like on the fridge. Don't do any of her jobs no matter what. One of you take the children and the other one collect them. Then the next week swap. Take it in turns to cook, maybe one day each or one week each. Don't come down and get her a drink when she is in the next room. You are sort of enabling her behaviour by doing things like that.

To be honest I think she likes you running round after her. She wont do anything unless you act. If she is spending ages on her phone, has hobbies and plans holidays, it doesn't sound as though she has depression, maybe its just laziness.
