[quote=Anonymous]You’re going to get a lot of snark here about how he has a high earning, high stress job and you live the good life as a sahm so stop riding him. But that has nothing to do with this, don’t let those comments distract you.

What is failing here is the communication. He sees your comments as criticism for whatever reason, so your communication of these things could probably use a tweak: either you don’t realized that how or when you say things aren’t quite right, or he really is oversensitive so you need to somehow make it sound like your thoughts are is his idea. So make sure you’re not springing things on him when he’s at the height of stress or tired, and turn your comments into questions—when do you think we should get her back in her own room? How should we re-train her? Do you think she’ll be more confident if we did this or this? Ask and listen to what he says, if you don’t love his answers don’t be angry or push, say things like “I hear you. We can hold for now. But we should keep thinking about this in case she doesn’t grow out of it”
