M is driving husband insane (and I won't lie...it's rather annoying me as well...but I'm more worried about husband's temper as of late). The past couple of weeks, M is just uncontrollably bossy, demanding, and repetative about it.
For instance, say we're going to go to the store...we all go out to the car...as soon as M gets into his seat and gets his seatbelt latched he barks in the most evil, nasty, deep throated, snappy, demanding way "GO!" telling husband to start driving, meanwhile the rest of us are still getting ourselves settled in the car and strapped in. One of us will calmly tell him, "M...relax...we're still getting strapped in...we'll be leaving in just a moment. :smile: " Not two seconds later does he rudely and impatiently shout, "LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" as he starts to jerk his body in protest in his seat. And if we're not driving that second, he'll continue this constantly every 2 seconds!!!!
I just don't know what to do with him...It's NOT appropriate for him to talk to us like this, but at the same time I can see he's working himself up for a meltdown...but it's bizarre...I mean it's such an INSTANT trigger. And it's all day long! If we don't start the DVD player right away...if the pizza guy doesn't show up right after we call...if dinner isn't ready right when I start to pre-heat the oven...
What can I do about this? Any suggestions?
