[quote=Anonymous]Just a vent, I guess.  Anyone else BTDT with some advice?

We have two little kids.  We're not getting a lot of sleep.  Husband's job is stressful and his boss is not the greatest to work for.  I work too but job is not as bad.  All that is leading to a lot of fighting in our house.  I'm nowhere near perfect but I just ask that my husband speak to me respectfully.  Instead, he flies off the handle at the littlest things.

A couple examples:

I'm holding sleeping baby - she often needs to be held to fall asleep.  Husband has toddler and they are eating snacks together.  Toddler flips plate of snacks on the floor.  Husband screams and starts yelling at me that I need to help him.  Toddler starts crying and husband says that I'm just sitting there doing nothing and why don't I ever help him.  I guess I was supposed to hover next to them in case the toddler looked like he might flip the plate?  I immediately put the baby down in her swing and helped clean up.  But at that point husband was in a full on rage - why can't toddler just sit nicely?  why am I sitting on my ass instead of helping him with toddler?

I'm cooking everyone breakfast.  Husband is with both kids.  Husband is convinced toddler is going to have meltdown even though toddler is playing nicely.  Baby is asleep in swing.  Husband gets really nasty about how long it is taking me to cook and what am I doing in there (kitchen).  And why am I not helping him with the kids.  So I turned all the burners off and went into the living room to help with the kids.  There was nothing to do so I just sat there watching the toddler play.  Then Husband got embarrassed and told me to go finish cooking but hurry up because it shouldn't take all day to make breakfast.

We used to be a really loving couple.  I used to think we would be together forever.  Now I don't even like this man.[/quote]
