ADD is also a possibility. His mother, aunt and sister all have the same bossy, know-it-all, "my way is the only way" personality, so it could be nuture as well as nature. he has temper tantrums and rages..last night he went ballistic because our two sons took apart his electric razor. I should also add that we have 4 children between the ages of 7 and 11 and he says that KIDS are his problem.

i also thought ADD might be a factor here, but was afraid attempts at diagnosing might not come across too well....... but since you seem pretty open minded .... yeah, ADD can make you really hard to get along with and can cause anger, hyperactivity etc ... irritability for sure .... i could be completely off base here, but you might want to just make sure it's not a factor..... take an online test or something
