That being said, Sky is definitely a very controlling wife as depicted in season 1; she's not doing so in any malicious way, but the way their life has gone, Walt is thoroughly henpecked and you can see clearly that he's had a lot of his agency around the household supplanted by his wife's wishes. It's one of the factors that contributes to him falling in love with the thrill of his criminal lifestyle. When she starts losing control, she reacts negatively, leading to Ted and then to her own criminal dealings. She goes from anger to guilt to fear and has her own journey in the later half of the show, but early on she's just kind of a mother hen who is starting to notice that the rooster's gone from the house a lot.
