How to talk without arguments

I think we've always done it, married 9 years.. but it's so much worse since I've gone back to work post maternity leave. This coincided with some extended family living with us for a few months which was stressful but they have since left.

We can't really have a conversation without being somewhat aggressive, blaming, and in the case of DH, swearing.

I could use the excuse that we need to change because DS is now parroting everything that is said, but really, it's so much bigger than that and is ruining my end of the marriage, and I presume, DHs.
Any ideas for how to approach this? I try to tell him when I don't like what or how he's saying something, but that inevitably gets me told off for nit picking and not liking anything he says etc etc.

It's very wearing and I'm over it. I'm not blameless by any means but I don't really know how to change. Any books I can read/approaches I can take?
