My darling 29 year old son visited at weekend with his GF to see his Uncle & Aunt. I was going to show a DVD of grandchildren which other grandfather compiled. I don't use DVD player much, but know that since we got new TV I've got to swap two cables at back of TV. The engineers didn't set it up correctly and I can't be bothered hauling the unit out & fixing it properly. Anyways son, who has been told before about this problem, started having a go at me AGAIN. So in front of my brother & SIL I snapped totally!!!! I'm not proud by any means, but son just kept going on & on & ...... until I said "Typical always think you're right & everyone else is wrong." He snapped back "Pot, kettle, black!" At which point hubby told him to leave the room as I flashed a "I'm going to kill him" look at son. Son's GF followed him & had a go at him too. He has this holier than though attitude sometimes which drives me insane & he occasionally catches me on a bad day & I explode! Saturday was that day. Hubby said I should just ignore him, but hubby can get pretty annoyed at him too sometimes, though maybe not to his face. Now I'm feeling bad, but I refuse to back down as he knows we've been over this time & time again. I should have left the room before I exploded, but as I'm only one who knows how to fiddle things about to put on DVD player, I stuck with it. My brother & SIL sat there with big grins on their faces watching me self combust.
Son now away on holiday, I texted him to wish them all a brilliant holiday & he replied, so it's one of our usual storm in a teacup situations, which just blows over in a few minutes.
His condition causes him to have terrible moods sometimes. So between his mood swings & my menopausal mood swings it's a wonder we haven't actually killed each other.
