I am completely irrational

[KarenDiane]

It's not a question, I know it for a fact but I can't help it! My son's 8th birthday is on Memorial Day so I was out shopping for a bike today. I stopped in the pet store and started petting the bunnies. They were SO SOFT and cute, and calm. Of course I wanted one so I called my hubby and told him I wanted to get one for Sam, for his birthday. Really I wanted one, my son has never asked for a bunny. Anyway, he said absolutely not which doesn't make a lot of sense to me. He's never taken care of any of our pets. But when I pushed him about it, he got mad and hung up on me. I haven't spoken to him all night and I keep thinking I should kick him out of the house. I'm really depressed about it. Not the bunny so much, but his over-reaction. Everything about him just enrages me tonight. It really doesn't make sense and I'm on a mood stabilizer so I'm confused about my reaction. Could it just be hormones? He's never been the best husband, or the most active father but I thought I'd excepted that. Anyway, thanks for letting me vent.

You guys were right. Today, I could care less. And he did explain himself. Apparently there was some miscommunication going on. Thanks!

I think it is probably hormones for the most part, but I also think he overreacted and should have explained why he did'nt think a bunny was a good idea right now. I have days when i am mad at my husband and even if I have reason to be mad at him, I know that I am really angrier than i should be because everything seems to get to me at once. I will be fine and then it's like everythign is going wrong at the same time!

Blame the hormones hon. I have episodes of rage and fury against anyone and everyone, even my mom sometimes.  It will pass. Just relax and don't stress too much, or try not to :-)

I think your hormones are getting to you, not that your husband should do what he did. He should definitely be more sensitive and at least discuss it with you. Although I dont think the time to be buying pets its right before you bring a newborn into the house, you will have enough on your plate.
