How to you handle the daddy stressing you out??

You need to talk to him about the way he's making you feel. My husband was in the Marine Corps so he has very high standards for cleaning and productivity. I'm almost 28 weeks pregnant with our third child and I'm a stay at home mom. I have enough going on just with taking care of my two toddlers and being pregnant, I can't always keep the house spotless as well. Things were getting to the point that I just couldn't take his criticism and frustration so we sat down and had a few heart to heart talks. It turns out there are other things causing him stress, it's not just me, but I'm the one he can take it out on. Just having him talk about the things that are bothering him helped a lot. He admitted that while coming home to a messy house doesn't help, it's not the main problem. So he's calmed down a lot and is dealing with his own things in a better way.

So just talk to him. Tell him how you feel and how his behavior affects you. Stay as calm as possible when you talk to him, getting overly emotional just makes it harder for both of you to have a real discussion. Chances are there are other things that are stressing him out and for whatever reason he's keeping it to himself. Do what you can to figure out what is bothering him and things should get better.
