[quote=Anonymous]Who ARE these people who find the question, "What is the matter with you?" offensive?  If I am being rude, crabby, and snappish with everyone around me, then it is perfectly fine for someone to ask me that question.  For most normal people, getting asked that question signals that (a) they are being horrid and (b) they need to be nicer.  Of course, it's a matter of tone.  Usually if I ask that question, I may be signaling to someone that they're being difficult, but use a gentler tone of voice that invites them to vent about whatever is eating them.

OP---you are going through a tough time.  I do think the PPs who have recommended that you find moments to praise are spot on.  Start there.  I empathize.  I have one that gives me fits about everything---every single thing is a knockdown drag out fight.  His siblings are now old enough and observant enough to tell him that he would be a lot happier if he wasn't so difficult with me, but that doesn't seem to help.  [/quote]
