[quote=Anonymous]Let it go, OP. You're pregnant and emotional. Your husband was tired. He did a lot for you and your family, and as nice as everyone sounds, a family visit is exhausting. What was said was said in a moment of frustration and fatigue.

You should stop talking about the petty things--like what got broken or damaged. They're just things, and you're lucky to have a such nice family who would do so much for you, as well as a loving husband who does so much for you.

Your husband probably felt like he did all that for you and your family, and then you were just upset and complaining about everything. It's a very typical male reaction to say what he said--a "solution" response that we women take the wrong way. He probably felt like he was offering the solution to your unhappiness, because he sounds like he adores you and it pains him to see you unhappy.  He probably also felt unappreciated. It's a strain and a lot of work having a houseful of in-laws!

I would be big about it, and just let it go, give him a hug and thank him for all he did. Acknowledge it's great to have family, but also very tiring. And then drop the subject. Next year the two of you will be thrilled to have the family back.
