[quote=Anonymous]You are probably coming off as more critical than you perceive yourself and your husband is growing exasperated with it -- hence the defensiveness. My recommendation is to embrace a couple of maxims: 1) You are not in charge. This is a partnership. He is not your employee and you don't direct him. 2) Closely related: You can ask him to do something or tell him how to do it, but you should never do both as it will only brew resentment. Agree with the recs for anxiety/depression screening and understand that to some degree this can be a byproduct of exhaustion. So, yes, get some rest and consult a doctor. And maybe some therapy or parenting classes so you can learn to co-parent productively without setting up some dynamic where you are Queen Bee and everything has to be done to your specifications. That's a recipe for conflict and ultimately divorce.[/quote]
