..so we would like to practise being nicer to them! I managed a week without saying anything sarcastic or critical to DH.

This week I'm also trying to be more affectionate to him, rather than just hugging the kids!

I feel happier and the atmosphere at home is much better.

Hello everyone... I'm not sure how I'm doing to be honest, we aren't bickering and falling out, but I feel myself getting so angry and frustrated some days. I don't think it helps that I'm stressed out about my mum, DP was very sweet last night when I lost it and bawled my eyes out..but I feel cross that it gets to that point before he realises I need him. I know he's not a mind reader, but a bit of empathy wouldn't go amiss sometimes! Other than that, things are ok, DS doing really well in big boy pants and at playschool...

Hi if anyone is still around on this thread.
Just want to say I've realised I need to do a bit of an overhaul on me and my life and that that will help my relationship with DH, because it's really not good at the moment. So I'm going to start a self-help thread in the 'feeling depressed' section of the board
