I'm always caught between feeling really condescending about telling DH every possible option for each eventuality vs. being really annoyed because he's not doing things the way I want it done so I can actually get extra sleep or bathroom time or a few more forkfuls of dinner or whatever. For us, what's really really annoying is that when I explain things to him, he gets REALLY snitty and annoyed, but then when he repeats himself like three times, as if he's talking to a four year old, he acts all justified when I point out he already said something.

We've got some serious communication issues.
