We also have a 2 year old and a four year old and my wife definitely goes through this. It's just something you're going to have to deal with. Don't take it personally and try and find ways to help her with chores and housework to alleviate her exhaustion. She really needs you to help and will appreciate this more than any ham-fisted attempts at fixing her self esteem. Exhaustion is exhaution now matter the body issue.
Can the two kids play together without you in the morning? If you can get the older one to take the little one away for 20 minutes, you both can sleep in a little or even get it on. It works wonders.
