Just getting so sick of the constant sniping at each other that DH and I are doing.
Can't seem to snap out of it, it's really getting me down but wondering whether I'm taking it too seriously - does everyone with small kids (DS1 is 3, DS2 is 1 but a nightmare reflux bad sleeper - we are just emerging from the fog now) bicker with their partner about how to do things (ie "don't let him do that" "you forgot to put the nappy cream on" "why hasn't he got his slippers on?" etc etc.)
DH is away for the night and although I always think I will find it hard coping on my own, I've actually had a really fun and relaxing evening with the kids
We both work full-time and are quite busy anyway (various other outside commitments, biggish house & garden to keep up,).
We are both real perfectionists too which is possibly where it's coming from - or maybe the fact that neither of us is "the main carer" - so noone's boss IYSWIM.
Anyway, would be interested to hear if we're the only ones, am quite at myself at being quite so happy DH is away !!!
