Barrybran III - New job, new life?

[Barrybran]

I think things have gone backwards for sure now. I thought my kids were being dropped off at my wife's store this afternoon so I bought groceries so my wife could just finish work and go home instead of dragging the kids through the supermarket. It turns out that our babysitter was going to leave our kids at home with my parents and my wife was heading home alone. She questioned why I bought the groceries and told me she told me of this plan. This morning's issue, I honestly can't recall and there's a chance I may have not heard or tuned her out. This afternoon's issue was clear cut to me; she was wrong.

I thought enough was enough. The miscommunication was getting out of hand. I told get I was frustrated by it and that I'd like to discuss it. I told her I enjoy things more when we get along. She replied that she told me everything and I was the one who miscommunicated. It's like talking to a brick wall.

I get home tonight and she's watching TV. I know this is not a time to disturb her but the kids have been horrible for her. I settle the kids while she watches her shows and ask her in the ad break how her day was. She replies "long" so I leave it.

I understand this is about happy, not right. I understand there is a time for both parties admitting their roles in the present situation. But boy is it frustrating to work with someone so stubborn and not be in a position to call them out on their nonsense. Instead, I have to go back a few steps and play nice.
