oh no ds just heard me shout at dh

[lindaloopyloo]

Both been niggling at each other today. I've been in foul mood and dh is irritatating me more than ever. He was doing his superior act and I hissed 'oh just go. I can't stand living with you - just go on. get a divorce. I couldn't care less', walked out of the room and there was 11 year ds sitting on the stairs listening. What do I say now to ds. I feel shit.

Apologise to DH and make sure DS hears it.

DH snapped at me the other day in front of 3yo DS. What he said wasn't acceptable and I told him so in no uncertain terms, he apolgised, we hugged. All infront of DS. Its fine for them to see adults arguing in a grown up manner (ie not shouting and ranting)so long as they also see the apology and make-up. In fact I think its an important lesson in conflict resolution and emotional management.
