Sunday, Mar 16 2008 - What is up with this?

View NIKKI8's food & exercise for this day

I have a really bad sore throat. I felt feverish earlier. I'm thinking: didn't we just get over being sick? Carter is coughing and has a runny nose. No more sickness please!
I was planning on walking with my stroller group tomorrow as I can't on Thurs (I have a dentist appt.) But now I'm not sure I should go with my sore throat. It feels like it's swollen three times bigger than usual. And I'm really tired. So I'm going to finish up here, read a little and go to bed early. I'll see how I feel in the morning.

My husband is being a real jerk. I don't know what his problem is. He was fine earlier when I wasn't feeling good and needed to lay down. He took care of the kids for me and seemed happy about it. When the tylenol kicked in and I felt better and started doing things, he got in a really bad mood about stuff around the house. He seemed really tense and stressed about it when he normally doesn't say anything. Then he seemed like he was in a drunk, self-pity mood. He gets to drink on the weekends, but I don't know how many he had as I never keep track. He doesn't usually get drunk, maybe buzzed. But he just seemed so weird. Definitly passive aggressive. Some of the things he did reminded me of a rebellious kids. It seemed like he was doing things just to spite me. He was "sabotaging" the kids' bedtimes. I set a limit on what he was doing with Carter. (He reads one book to Carter and then I take over. I have told him in the past, I'm not going to let him ruin the way Carter goes to bed so well the way he did with Collin. ) After reading TWO books, we got up to brush teeth and he went to sit down to read Carter another book. Uh, no. That is not the way we do things. When I pointed it out, his responses were rude. I don't know. Maybe I'm being sensitive. But his pissy mood was pissing me off. :angry2:
When I came downstairs to tell Collin it was time for bed, they had started the Cars movie. What the heck?! The kids were up late last night and Collin was so tired today. He didn't get to lay down for a nap or anything and he has school tomorrow. I said all this in as gentle a voice as I could muster and told Collin he had 10 mins to watch and then we were heading upstairs. I told Chris if he wasn't ready to put Collin to bed, then I would. (He often waits to put Collin to bed because HE isn't ready to end his evening :angry1: ). Well, he went upstairs to put him to bed. My turn is tomorrow.
I did not plan on writing all this. I guess I needed to vent.
It is so disappointing that I just wrote yesterday about how things were getting a little better and then he is a total jerk tonight. I guess I jinxed it. :nono5: And while the situations described may seem like small issues, it's the overall attitude, mood and the way he treats me that hurts, confuses me and just plain makes me mad! It's times like these that I am so tired of being married.
He has so many good qualities. He is a great dad. Hard worker. Intelligent and creative. But he's also a spoiled brat, an only child if that explains alot.
Okay, I'm done now. Going to bed.

Hope you feel better, physically and emotionally. I don't think they are small issues, for what it's worth:kiss:

Yes, his being an only child probably does have a lot to do with it, especially if his parents always gave him his own way. If he didn't grow up with rules and boundaries, then he doesn't know how to apply them to his own children.

I'm sorry that your husband is being a jerk! I hope he snaps out of it and that you guys can discuss it so you know what was eating him. I hope you feel better!
