Home is where the heart is, and where everyone acts like a jerk
Photo: Camerique/Getty Images When my oldest child started preschool, I was thrilled to get reports that she was following the rules, playing nicely with others, and just generally being her best, sparkly self.
If you know me or see me around the neighborhood, you may find me chatty, smiley, and fun with most people. But that woman is not the same one my husband hangs out with the rest of the time. She can often be found huffily doing the dishes, sometimes stomping around muttering about stray socks, or maybe curled on the couch emanating “unsubscribe” vibes and just generally being grouchy. Not a lot of sparkle.
“If I treated my friends the way I treated my husband, I am not sure I’d have all that many friends,” says Libby, who has one child. It also bears noting that despite all this, it’s not just a woman thing. My husband specializes in snarling at people for taking his favorite spot on the couch, for asking him to scoop the cat litter in the wrong tone , and for various offenses that have to do with the TV remote control .
