How does Léonce’s behavior when he returns from the Klein Hotel reveal about his attitude toward his wife?

Leonce dotes on his wife, but her inattentiveness to their children annoys him. He sees her as lacking in motherly instinct, but we're also given to believe Leonce is a bit of a nagger. He too lacks consideration, spending a lot of time away from home and remembering the inessential was not his forte.
