Awkward Situation Got Much Worse (part 3)

[Tate]

So, I read most of your responses at lunch today (and the remaining just now), and I thought man, everyone is over reacting to my situation...its really not that horrible.

Then, tonight, I was hanging out with the kids while my W was in class. My W came home early while I was helping my daughter (9) with her homework. My daughter was having a hard time with a problem and was getting a bit over tired and upset. My W came in the room right away barking at my daughter on how to do the problem. I very nicely told my W that I had this covered and we were just about finished. My wife rudely told me that this is what she teaches and that she was going to help my daughter.

I noticed that my daughter was getting more upset as my W was still barking instructions at her. I told my W that our daughter was a little tired and I could help her wrap up her work. I watched my daughter start crying as my W continued barking instructions at her. After my daughter was crying and I was consoling her, my W got up and left telling my daughter to just forget about it for tonight and finish it in the morning. She then bitterly told me how she did not appreciate me rolling my eyes at her while she was helping HER daughter in front of all three kids.

I stayed, calmed my daughter down, and helped her finish her work so she would not worry about it all night.

I tucked my daughter in as usual. She told me she loves me and that I am the best dad in the world.
