[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread sadly makes me realize I’m at least not alone in being dismayed and hurt by my DH since we had a baby last year. Any attempts to discuss division of labor and, heaven forbid, him taking responsibility for ordering one of the many things our child needs lead to defensiveness, criticism, and, lately, name calling and downright nastiness. I recently got screamed at and called horrible things for saying we need to make dinner earlier when our kid was crying out of hunger since he was late getting it started (again). Why are men like this? Maybe I need to get out before we suffer much longer. [/quote]

Explain...was he for example making dinner at 5:30pm and you told him he should have made it at 5 pm?  Without a time machine, he couldn't do that.  While he is actually in the process of making that evenings dinner is obviously not the time to [b]nag him and criticize him[/b] about it.[/quote]

Nothing in PP's post says that there was any "nagging" or criticizing.[/quote]

It's right there in her post.  No she didn't use that word.but [b]that's probably what happened[/b]..  She can clarify why she hadn't made.the child dinner on time either, or, if she knew dinner was.late, why she didn't give rlthe.crying child a snack like other posters said   [/quote]

Again, there is nothing in the post that says that PP "nagged" (a misogynistic word choice) or criticized.  You can speculate that "that's probably what happened," but that's just you making assumptions about PP.[/quote]

I get to interpret what.inread here as I see fit.  You don't get to control other.people.  if you disagree that's fine with.me.[/quote]

You sound like a peach.[/quote]
