[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DW here. Sometimes I act like this. No excuse, but it is when I need help. I need my dh to help out a bit around the house. For example this am my two kids under 5 were fighting the dog needed to go outside and get fed, baby needs a diaper change and a bottle. He was in bed still. He finally got up and took over feeding the dog. Minutes later the dog is following me and I realize that 2 inches beside the dogs bowl is an empty water bowl. It's this, that gets me going and my husband saying, huh? 
So no I don't need a professional. Maybe a professional massage. I just need you to help a tiny bit more than you do.

I tend to agree with this post.
I am a wife, SAHM to only one, but definitely not by choice. I won't be able to return to work for another year or two. I think i have low tolerance level, plus my H is a jerk (I don't know if this is the case with OP :)). But I did find myself losing my shit way too often for my own liking. 
I didn't go the medication route. I found a great therapist, had sessions via skype, she helped me a lot. Most importantly, she helped me become less anxious and not get set off by my H's jerkiness. 
But still, I would NOT need a therapist if my H did simple things like:
not staying in bed until noon on weekends
not undermining my parenting all the time (or maybe he could even say something kind from time to time?)
actually suggest to take the kid for a couple hours so I could sleep in or maybe go get a pedi (not just agreeing if I asked him)
etc etc etc
Oh, and when I started yelling at the kid - I didn't need a reprimand. I needed someone to come in and fucking help me deal with the kid!!!

OP, I think if you spent the majority of the weekend with your kids, letting your wife chill out a bit, that would help all of you. [/quote]
