[quote=Anonymous]This morning, young children played with our preschool daughter and spilled unflavored popcorn on the walkway to our house. DW asked me to clean it up and I swept it into the mulch and grass about a dozen feet away from the front door. I went on with chores, got the children ready, etc. and assumed everything was ok. Just now, on the way to an event with DW and our 2 young children, DW saw this she got very upset. In front of the children she started picking up the popcorn and repeating to me (though everyone could hear) "this is why I hate you". I urged her to let it go and that we could tend to it later, that birds could get the popcorn while we were gone. She said that this would lead to an ant problem and that if I cared about her feelings and "us" that I should clean it up immediately. We each repeated our positions a few times and instead of also getting loud or emphatic I disengaged. How could this have been handled better?[/quote]
