Sorry about your wife!  Just the other day I got a Deep Freeze Defender from a
auction on ebay (good price too, brand new!) and we put it together that night
after putting the baby & toddler to bed.  She has not built with Lego since
she was 10!  She thought some of the model was overwhelming, but that is
understandable after a 17 year dark age!  Now she wants to build more.  Get
together a set that you can do together and let her do most of the building,
just pick the parts for the next step out in advance for her.  Have fun.

(...) On Thanksgiving, I managed to get my wife absorbed in building a new skyscraper for my city-scape. It was actually fun. Usually I'm pretty hands-off about my designs, but we worked well together. At first, she seemed to think that she couldn't (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
