My wife 38, has been exhausted basically since we had kids at 26.
And I could be wrong, but I think she wears a smaller domestic workload on her shoulder than the average 30 something mother. While she also spend a fair amount more than 40 hours a week at her accounting job.
I really doubt it's related to house work that she is so tired, and if she had it in her to get moving around the house a little more when she got home, she would actually have more energy. I think the thing I really see form her is wearing a lot more than is reasonable on her shoulders. She goes to bed at 9:30 thinking about work, and the team the kid has to make, and if she could have done the kids home work better than they did, and the call we got because the other kid didn't participate in gym today, and weather i'm happy or secretly hate her (i don't)... It's a bunch of stuff she has basically no control over, mostly doesn't matter all that much, and almost certainly effects her quality of sleep.
