I think the action you took with the kids was a good thing, gave him a chance to cool off and think and got you and the kids away from the tension. Kids don't need to be around yelling or arguing and you were smart enough to realize that and consciously took action. Sometimes we need space when we're upset, if only for a little while-- and then after he cooled down he was able to talk to you about it. I think there would be less domestic violence if other women thought to do what you did.

I think all my blogs
| are int he correct catagories. Though they may deal with other topics as well. As far as husbands go, they think that they are the only ones that have bad days. The big babies. Keep Writing and Smiling |

I agree on the scattergories
Unfortunately, some are not as organized thinkers..or as mark said, move blogs to irrelevant categories for new/more clicks. I have moved a couple, but mostly trying to find the right spot. Plus, I came in with a bang, couldn't stop typing. lol. So I had to go back and reorganize. Your not the only one who thinks we should respect the categories;)
I loved the hubby story, you are a strong woman

I think (hope) all my blogs are in the right place, so I'm not offended
But I know what you mean about some blogs appearing under topics you wouldn't expect them to be. It used to be (I suppose it still is) a trick to get a few more clicks. If I moved some of my blogs about one or two of them would suddenly find themselves as the top blog in that category, and then they might get a few more clicks, even if they're nothing to do with Home & Garden or some-such thing.
As for your husband, I sound a bit like him sometimes. I tend to shout - loudly - when things aren't going my way, but my bark is much worse than my bite, and my kids and my wife know that. If she thinks I'm out of order, she tells me, otherwise she just lets met get on with it until I'm feeling a bit better about myself.

Thanks everybody, you all are great listeners.
Yeah, I did feel al ot better. I just don't want to give anybody the impression he's some kind of monster and I'm a saint...not even close. Things are way better since he got it all off his chest, and we had a serious talk last night about how I can help him manage his stress, rather than him taking it out on all of us.
Thanks, again, for lettin' me vent to you all. It helps!

You are welcome to ignore this but I'm sorry, I have to agree with Doctor Phil on this. We teach people how to treat us. Yeah, my spouse gets pissed off but if he starts to take it out on me or the kids I just say, "Hey, I know you're pissed off but don't take it out on us." We've also used, "Vent to me not on me please." He has said these same things to me. Life and worries are hard to handle. Our families are our teams if we work with them. If you don't feel it is safe to say anything right then perhaps you can sit him down, and talk about it when he is calmer. Just my opinion and good luck.

sound like a typical day around here
My man's been having a rough time of it lately. Who hasn't, right? The more I blow sunshine up his arse the better he acts. Responding in kind is very hard but I don't know if it's the same with everyone, but it seems that woman has the power to change the tone of things in the home, not the man. At least that's true in our house.

Hang in there
like you say sounds like he's just concerned about his family. At least he's not hitting or other things.
