I already used :
- Today at work was so stressful, gotta clear my mind and calm myself looking at the earth from the moon...
- Let me take care of the children this whole weekend and take some rest, but at least let me play in peace just for tonite
- I bought you this new bag from LV, nice huh? You like it? Yes sure go on and try it, show your friends, take selfies, take your time.... (switching on the PS4 without any comment from wife)
Got any other ideas guys? girls? :)

When you get home, go straight for the dishes. Get 'em all clean and put away. Change out the trash. Make the bed. Clean off the coffee/dinner table, etc. Basically, spend an hour or so doing some small chores so she doesn't have to. You shouldn't receive any flak for wanting to play afterwards.
