Last night after work I didn't really see wife to much. Took youngest out when I got home then back for dinner. After dinner played with kids a bit then was bath and bedtime and W went to gym. I was shattered so was in bed when she got home at 9pm, exchanged pleasentries then off to kip. No idea what time she came to bed.
Youngest was up 6am and W turn to get up so he came to our bed for 20 mins before I asked if she would just get up with him so I could get an extra 30 mins. I got up and was offered a lift to work, which I accepted but I was going to run as wife wanted to get out the house for 20 mins. Think Y was winding her up.
Anyway, I had breakfast while she got ready then got myself ready. When coming back down ready to get kids dressed and go to work, W flipped. She was picking up some food from carpet and asked when we were going to get carpet cleaner that was at my mums, I said I don't know and ok I wasn't particularly clear on when we would get it, but she flipped. I said I hadn't planned yet but we would need to do it when we all out the house afterwards for the rest of the day as floor will be wet. I calmly said calm down, it's not a big deal, I know Y is winding you up but calm down. 'I'm in a mood cause I live with you, your a Fxxxer, your a fxxxer to live with'. All this in front of the boys. She then got out a toy to play with with the words 'I'll get x out for you as dad never does' !!!
I got my stuff, said don't worry about the lift I'll walk, kissed the boys and left.
So, did I handle that ok ? Why would my wife flip so bad ? was it just a mood or is my new positive me winding her up ? It was water of a ducks back to me, her words no longer hurt me, but in front of the boys I thought that was bang out of order and feel I should say something. However, I don't want to have a reaction that makes things worse.
