I too, feel in the middle of my H and kids relationship. Sometimes I fully believe that is one of the main reasons he did what he did. The kids frustrate him beyond normal. He is a perfectionist too and I see his point but the constant lectures got on my nerves too.
He just says he is trying to help them (which I believe he believes this) and gets mad when they aren't responsive like he thinks that should be.
He has often said, "I don't have this problem with anyone I work with." Okay, he's an instructor pilot and the people who "listen" to him are doing it A) because they get paid to do it B) their life may depend on it C) their job depends on it.
It's really sad to think that about where their relationships are heading and I don't know if I am able to do anything about it.
Did you feel like that SC, stuck in the middle of your H and kids?
