husband acts like a baby
| Mon, 01-23-2006 - 12:06pm |
We have been married for 11 years and have a 8 year old daughter.
My husband is 40 and if you tell him something he gets insulted and acts like a baby.
I told him the other day that he needs to tell our daughter in a nicer tone to do something rather then demanding it... he goes on and on about how i let her get away with everything and blames me! He says I am always picking on him. ( not true )He blames me for not having the drive to clean out my closet( he helped me clean it out on Sunday and then he gets tired and blames me ) He drives me crazy... he does not like to be blamed.

>>He drives me crazy... he does not like to be blamed<<
Of course he doesn't like to be blamed. Nobody like to be blamed.
I'd say that you (and he) need to change your communication style. If you give us some examples, perhaps we can give some ideas on better wording and timing.
