Anyone have a spouse that likes to fight for no reason?

My wife decided to pick a fight with me for no reason last night.

Background story; I babysit our 6 1/2 month old baby while she works. The fight took place last night after she was home for 2 hours. We were watching a TV show then she went to the bathroom and I was still on the bed

Wife: Honey, come get these bibs.

Me: (walking into the bathroom) What do you want me to do with them?

Wife: (yelling)You don't know? Are you stupid? Why should I have to tell you? You live here! Put them where they belong!

Me: They don't belong anywhere. We put the bibs everywhere. Their are some in the laundry room hanging, their are some in the baby's crib, their are some on the baby swing, their are some in a drawer with the baby's clothes.

Wife: (still yelling)put them wherever!

I leave the room(return to sitting on the bed with the baby) but overhear her mumbling. She then goes to the kitchen where she spends the next 2 hours making noise(cooking food; chopping with a knife, banging objects).
She ignored our baby during this time.

I was like... WTF???? :screwy:

Sad part is she has done this a couple other times too. In the past I've clearly told her I don't read minds, she needs to make a complete sentence when she wants me to do something.

Does this sound familiar?
 
sry to tell u dude, but somewere there is a underlying issue. u did something, or she did something that she feels guilty for and wants to blame u for or something along those lines. hope u get to sort it out.
my wife has her moods but still tells me whats wrong.
 
In the first place it's your child so you are not babysitting.It sounds as if something else is upsetting her,at work maybe and when she gets home the first thing you do that annoys her sets her off.
 
sum it up in three letters.... P.M.S. lmao no just kiddin. But women do operate different than men. They will say something and expect you to know what they mean. Its just their way of thinking...

Your best bet is to just accept it and not retaliate...You're just adding fuel to the fire
 
Its normal so don't panic. Women are looking for reassurance and help. The problem is that they expect us to know. I have had several arguments with my wife because she expects me to anticipate her needs. Who knows the real reason why your wife is getting upset or short with you but you need to be supportive of her as best as you can. Try to clean up stuff with out her asking. Maybe sit down with her hold her had and ask what is bothering you and be prepared to listen. Do not I repeat do not offer a solution just listen.

Good Luck
 
I agree with writing a list. Honestly, why say do this then mean the total opposite. "I want you to do this without me telling you" Anyone hear that often.

You are correct in that, but the way we look at it is since I got laid off (28 days before our daughter was born). We decided that there was no hurry in me getting as job as most of the money would go to a baby sitter. So it would be better for me to stay home and watch (babysit) her. Plus, we feel better knowing our daughter is being cared for.


Thanks for all the input so far with the other posts too.
