[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 312365, member: 3444"] husband was SO worried about getting this project done TODAY. He created so much stress for himself in setting up the expectation for getting it done by 5:00pm before easy child's soccer practice that he was snapping at everyone, barking orders, and eventually screaming at the difficult child's whose help he was trying to enlist (that went over like a lead balloon). I finally went outside to tell him to cool it, and that there was absolutely NO reason why it had to be done today. We're expecting 80+ degree weather for the next several days, so why the big freak-out? I think he suddenly realized how the pressure was self-imposed and he seemed to relax a little bit and stopped yelling at difficult child 2, but difficult child 1 had already had a meltdown over husband's unreasonable behavior, pushed over a wheelbarrow and went inside declaring he was DONE. :( He was agitated tonight when I talked to him on the phone on my way home from my NAMI class, too. I think he may be due for a medication tweak... if this continues, I'm going to suggest he call the psychiatrist and ask for advice. But yes, the roof is done -- he did the best he could... it's not perfect, but hopefully it will keep the rain out now. :) [/QUOTE]
