Thanks for your input, snodderly. That's exactly what it was like around here yesterday - grumpy, moody, sullen, barely speaking, slamming doors!, etc. It was a relief when he went out. I did a good job of ignoring and concentrating on the kids and what I needed to get done and being as pleasant as possible but not really saying much of anything to him. If it was one of the kids I would have sent them to their rooms until they could come out and "act nice.":)
