GRRRR
Dear Husband, I’m Grumpy During The Holidays Because Of You
 
Ho ho ho, here we go — it’s the most wonderful time of the year, and also, sometimes, the most irritating. Today, we’ve got Becky Viera on a common source of teeth-grinding: complaining husbands. “Love, marriage, kids, and THEN holiday misery. I’m not sure if that is the exact trajectory most people follow in life, but I know that’s been mine. From the time my relationship with my husband started to get serious up until this current moment, the most wonderful time of the year has progressively deteriorated into anything but.” 

Give it a read and find out why. She’s mad, but she’s also extremely funny.
