Little bit of empathy yes, but the constant snapping drives me mad. I took the little one out for an hour after dinner so my W had a bit of time and space to herself as youngest upstairs playing as bit ill.

W snapped again this morning and I asked her to stop politely as she was always snapping to which her response (in front of the kids was) 'It's because I live with you'. She has said this before, this is her way of trying to regain control when she is in the wrong I guess ???

I asked her to show a bit more respect and use please and thank you. She was even trying to tell me how to ask my mum to have my son today, then even listened in when I made the call.

I'm noting all this and not going to even mention it, though it may come out at C when that starts. What would others do in this sitch ?

It's funny as her answer to all this seems to be me move out, but then she'd have next to know support which is what she always moans about !!!!
