[quote=Anonymous]I typically apologize for my part in a disagreement. DH often does, but sometimes he has entitlement issues.

Recently I yelled at my husband for getting in the way. I had asked everybody to get out of the kitchen so I could do my fiddly thing - I can't even remember what it was now! - without anybody getting in the way. It was 5-10 minutes I needed with access to the sink, counter, and stove and wanted nobody else in the kitchen. I started this action BEFORE they all decided to come into the kitchen. This is an open kitchen so they could see what I was doing, they knew they were not wanted, and they knew I was stressed. I asked them to leave and the first child left kitchen immediately. 2nd child left after being warned once when she stopped for a snack on the way out. And DH, DH saw me start work and came into the kitchen to *fill up his water bottle and get a snack* and messed around for 3 minutes while I asked him to leave. Then I snapped and yelled at him to leave the kitchen.

Kids were shaking their heads at him ... "you were warned"

I returned to him later and apologized for snapping. He accepted my apology and defended his actions as if he was in the right because "he was trying to stay out of my way later" ... as if his hydration and crackers couldn't wait not even 10 minutes.

He can't seem to apologize with out saying ... "but [insert reason why he was right for doing what he did]"

Very frustrating.[/quote]
