Am I wrong to be annoyed?
Some days I get so annoyed and irritated with my step kids. They’re 12 and 13. Most days they’re great and we all get along but tonight I was SO frustrated. I was trying to nap (14 weeks pregnant and not sleeping at night hardly) and my step daughter was just screaming/yelling in her room for no reason and woke me up 10 mins into it. Then we were watching a movie and she would not stop fidgeting the whole time next to me, wiggling and moving her arms everywhere. I’m super overly emotional today so everything is getting under my skin. But when I ask my husband to say something he acts like I’m being irrational and have no reason to be upset. I try not to get into them and let him do most of it so I don’t seem like I’m nagging. I did address both situations with her tonight. But even with reasonable things like them leaving messes everywhere or being disrespectful he thinks I’m just so easily frustrated for nothing. It’s like he doesn’t understand my emotions are so high right now and sometimes I can’t help what I get upset at. I’ve tried talking to him and it doesn’t seem to do much. I just feel like a huge burden to this family when I’m not smiling and happy 24/7.
