[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that your wife could have found a more polite middle ground in both situations. Personally, I probably also would have also been irritated in both situations, but probably would have handled them both more calmly and politely. Unless I were in a really bad place in terms of stress, sleep and hormones, which is when I will almost predictably lose control. Luckily, I that happens only once every year or two.

BUT, I think you buried the lead here. She SAHM with a toddler and is stressed and lashes out. So what’s going on? Something isn’t right. And if your child isn’t difficult, then it’s something with her. Either she’s or has some thyroid or hormone issue or anxiety or ADHD or something. What she needs is a DH who is caring and understanding and can support her figuring this out, rather than one that’s judging and embarrassed by actions that, while rude, are not the end of the world. That is the way that you come together and act as a team; complaining and holding it against her is not. [/quote]

I don't think we have to jump to medical explanations. Some folks are just uncomfortable with middle-ground communication that occupies the grey area between passive and explosive. (Look at all of the posters here who assume it has to be one or the other). [/quote]
