A few days ago I had a huge angry outburst at DH saying that he always criticizes me, sometimes it feels like all the time, everything I do (even though I work bloody hard at a part time job and with 2 DCs, I take on the majority of the work at home).
He said I am too sensitive about criticism and that he cannot say anything to me without me taking it too personally, he says I bicker too much with the DCs. My point was that as I have to do most of the 'work' with them and communication with them it sounds this way. He was even blaming me for our 11yr old DD storming off after a card game with me and her brother, as if an 11yr old girls silly tantrums are all my fault when I was encouraging them to have a nice game of cards. But no, apparently it was.
I said perhaps I would take criticism a bit better if I ever felt like I got any support or appreciation for what I do, the odd kind word or him asking the DCs to tidy their rooms or help me with tea would be nice!
Today I had got in late as had to meet DD at school as she had come out late and it was dark so I was late home making tea. Thinking he must be hungry I put the first part of the meal out while another bit had another 5-10 mins in oven and could be eaten when first part (home-made soup) was finished but he moaned because it wasn't all ready at once.
Should I have said 'fuck you' and tipped it on his head or just been my usual 'take it on the chin' self? Answers on a postcard please.
Totally fucked off MNetter
