Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

[ Reply | More ]up front, straight apology with no "but i only said it because...". try to find something very fundamental and positive to say about her, but only if you mean it. ("even though i said things i regret, i want you to know that i love her and am happy to have her in the family".) close by saying that you don't want to create conflict and possibly add that if the apology isn't enough, what else can you do to rectify the relationship.

How about saying: I'm terribly sorry. We were both having a bad day and needed to bitch about someone. Since Britney has shaved her head this week, we just randomly picked on your wife.

It was all incredibly cheap stuff, and we weren't.....emmmm....kind.
