My wife is a teacher and just got out of school yesterday.
Since September I have been part-time stay at home Dad and part-time online business.
Today she has been sleeping most of the day and I've been watching the little one. She came through the house and immediately started asking questions likes, "Why is the floor cluttered with toys?" "Why haven't you opened the mail?" "Do you just let *Insert out sons name* do what ever he wants? Or do you really watch him?" "Where did this book come from? When did you buy it?" (I read a alot, it is a big stress relief for me). And it was just one thing after the other.
She then began cleaning manicly (throwing things in random places, vaccuming, and even moving things on my desk) ((By the way I haven't been diagnosed with OCD although after proof-reading this I seem to get a hint of it..hmm)). I flat out began panicing. I felt like everything was falling in around me and I couldn't breath. Between being accused of not watching our son to being scolded for not doing enough around the house (I watch our son, take him to his daycare/activities, clean, dishes, bills., finances, etc) and then to be put on the spot and told that I wasn't doing enough just put me in a spiral. I just can't handle the constant beating down. I figured since I had let her sleep most of the day (10PM last night to 11AM and then another nap from 2PM to 5:30PM) I figured she'd be thankful. I try my best but I guess it isn't good enough, I don't know what to do.
The panic and feeling of complete loss of sanity and I took a Xanax (2MG) but I am feeling no better what so ever.

Sorry to vent I just needed to write this down and get any tips/ideas/tricks/etc.

Blessings,
Matt S.
