[quote=Anonymous]My husband says I over-react and calls me sensitive as I got very annoyed and angry  at him for calling me "disorganized", "a person with no system and structure" and when the following happened:

1) I left a ballpoint pen exposed (without putting back the pen cover) while I left the table to attend to our 6 month old baby and other housechores. He got annoyed and nagged me for being "unsystematic".

2) I made bread using the breadmaker and the paddle got stuck in the bread. I left the paddle in the bread until it cooled down, but my husband didn't know and sliced the bread until he scraped the paddle. He blames me for leaving it there and said he wants to return the breadmaker. Again, he said I had no system.

3)  I accidentally dropped a bottle of moisturizer on the floor while nursing the baby at 5AM. Was so tired that I forgot that it dropped, so I returned to my room. Again. he chided me and said I was disorganised.

He says he doesn't want our baby to grow up "not putting back pen covers: like me - I just think that he is personally attacking me over these minor issues. He has his fair share of bad habits which I don't bring up because I don't find it irksome like the way he does about mine. He keeps harping on these small incidents, but overlook other more significant ones like how I ensure I have dinner prepared for him by the time he comes back ( which can be anytime between 6PM and 8 PM, with no prompting if he's a little late), and when, at his request, I have to make a meal to entertain friends whom he invites in, despite having my hands full with the baby and my graduate studies.

I just feel that he's not appreciative of the things I do, and that I quit my job to look after the baby. He sometimes makes me I feel "dumb" because I'm a full-time mum. Even his aunt commented "why does she bother with her studies, since she's a full-time mum anyway".  These really hurt. Am I being sensitive about the "no system, no structure" insult?[/quote]
