[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are two parts here.

One, address kids behavior as pp mentioned.

The other, address all the other factors that are not directly kid related and that are burning you out and shortening your fuses - get help if you can (parents,  ils, mothers helpers, etc once you are out of quarantine), but also let go: let the balls drop and keep them there. Your dh knows that if he drops the ball, you are there to pick it up, stop. Let it drop. And related to that, Prioritize yourself. This will give you more emotional reserves to not shout in frustration.

Good luck op! Hugs![/quote]

The 2nd part exemplifies my wife.  She gets frustrated due to her aging parents dementia and issues at work.  She is then looking for an outlet for her frustration, and that outlet is all too frequently when the kids do not respond the second she makes a request.  I intervene when it is unreasonable and / or a drink is involved,  but all too often the kids fail to read the obvious hints and their failed response intensifies her anger.[/quote]
