[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I am annoyed at the little stops on the way home because he gets home so late--usually between 7:30 and 8, and we have two young kids. I also work FT and I rush home to pick up the kids from daycare at 5, prep dinner, feed and bathe the kids, and when DH decides at 7:20 that he need a beer and makes even a quick pit-stop at the CVS, I just find that so annoying.

So that adds what?  Another 5, maybe 10 min?  I think you're looking at all these little things when really you are annoyed about something bigger (the fact that he works late and you have to do all the evening stuff).  Have a discussion about that, because nit picking his whereabouts and what he's doing isn't constructive and isn't going to fix anything.  It just comes off as micro managing and controlling, and DH will just brush you off/get annoyed.

Instead, try to have a conversation about how you are feeling overwhelmed having to do so much in the evening.  Maybe you can get a mother's helper a few days a week or something.  THAT is the conversation worth having, not the nitpicking. [/quote]
