When my wife is raging there's always a kernel of truth to what she's raging about. The problem is the degree to which she is raging is completely out of proportion. For instance: kid downloads 5 episodes (older kid bought them last year, so just downloaded not spent money on) to an iPod, wife rages at child, takes away iPod, wants to take away sleepaway camp, rages at me for letting child do "whatever the f***" the child wants to do, says I'm a bad father, a bad husband.

The wife has done this before, with pretty much every transgression (some from the child, some from me, not counting yelling due to her OCD)--it used to be every 3 or 4 months, now it's every 2-3 weeks.
