Annoyed (also a rant)

@Elaine sometimes my husband does get mad because he feels like I’m putting him in the middle since it’s his mom , which I hate but sorry I’m your wife 🙂 I do hope it is just the extra hormones , I also lose my patience with my son which breaks my heart since he’s 3 so he has no idea what’s going on .
I'm huge on communication and taking responsibility, it has been major for us since we met on both sides (luckily he was more than okay with it). Due to this I flat out tell him I'm broken right now and can't regulate my emotions. I tell him as soon as I realize I'm reacting more than I feel is warranted or I usually would. This has saved so much tension. I do it with my kids too, if I get upset at them I make sure I explain to them later that I should have handled it better and what made me react how I did. Luckily they're understanding most of the time. It's so hard for me because usually I know my emotions so well that when something is upsetting I can give an exact time frame of how long until I'm Done being upset. Now I have no clue, I'm upset constantly and I'm even jealous often which is usually not common at all.
A lot of people can't handle this level of self awareness and taking responsibility, it took me a couple years of actively working to achieve it but my life has so much more peace and understanding from the people around me since then. I definitely recommend it, but I am not sure how well it can go while pregnant. Living with in laws is hard even when you all absolutely love each other.
I have NO patience lately. I've told my husband and OB/midwife that I get irritated so easy and lose my patience on people, especially my kids, so quickly now compared to before being pregnant. Luckily husband is understanding, and the Dr's just say it's hormones and it should hopefully get back to normal after delivery.
