[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 215805, member: 3444"] Yeah, he's all AAARRRRGH! today, that's for sure ;) He's working from home (because he's tired he says) with his laptop today and sitting near me kibb itching about difficult child 2's basketball coach, the practice schedule, how poorly difficult child 2 performs (so what), how he's treated during practice (just fine in my opinion), blah, blah, BLAH, BLAH, blah, blah... When he gets like this, I have to just stop what I'm doing and let him get it all out of his system. It's like he's got all this steam built up (and it's only 9am!)... Until recently, I always felt like I had to engage him and try to offer solutions to whatever he was complaining about or upset about. And that would jack up my anxiety. Which eventually got ME depressed. Now I just nod my head and detach while I watch him go off like a geyser (or is that geezer?). Then he settles down for a while until something else gets his attention. I think I'd better run some errands today if there's to be any peace for me! [/QUOTE]
