God Dinah, I could have written your post!
I just finished bending Falls ear about how hard it is to be the "vacation fairy" and make everyone happy. My husband did that snapping thing for 3 straight days...and then told me he thought the vacation was "fine!" And here I am thinking he is sooo unhappy and frustrated. He was in the moment but he moves on quickly, so why can't I?
It is really, really hard when your kids pick it up too. Mine are pros at reading the mood and removing themselves from the line of fire. Better still, they engage him in some activity, "hey dad, let's shoot hoops" and distract him from the tasks he had in mind. Your guy isn't old enough yet, but he will get there.
Hang in there. Tuesday is coming and then we don't have any holidays until Halloween.
btw, I'm hiding down at my office today. That's how I cope!
