Its unreasonable and I don't know why, at least I am pretty sure I am unreasonable? He certainly thinks so.
Today as an example. Have had a lovely day with DD and was looking forward to picking DH up from work, had bought wine and a nice tea to treat him as we have both had colds for a week or so and felt generally run down.
I got there a bit early and nipped to get petrol. Now, I had taken part in the thread about whether you would DD in the car at a petrol station and was abig "no" person in this. However, I decided to test my anxiety and see if I could. Afterall, DH was due any second and I figured he would turn up mid fill anyway.
DD was asleep in her car seat.
DH was late and I felt that I couldnt hang around not paying so I went in to the petrol station (have never left her before but so many m/netters said that they do that I wondered whether I was being stupid!)
She was always in my sight and to be honest I was worried sick (and won't be doing it again)
DH turns up whilst I am paying and I beep the car open. He does not see me do this and wrongly assumes that i had left the car open. I see him pull a face and point at DD and immediately I feel like I want to punch him!! (Am not a violent person).
I pay, walk to the car and start to defend how I would never leave the car open, to which I get "remarks" about how I should also not leave her alone in the car.
I snapped (and swore several times). I think it was because I felt that I had been "caught out".I am normally the more protective one of DD, but at the same time I feel so angry that he thinks that I need telling how to look after her. Its ME that is with her all day every day.
Anyway, I over reacted. He is a great DH, always gives her tea, bath and bed time milk and usually gets up with her for the first hour of every day (meaning i get a 7am lie in!).
I am just so cross with him, I even know I am over reacting but cant bring myself to apologise. We haven't spoken for an hour now, am just avoiding him (like a child i know)
So why did I / do I get so so angry with him? I never swear at anyone else.
Its scarey as my mum is rather sharp with my dad and I dont want to treat DH like that.
