Am I being unreasonable???

[Winter]

Nope, not being unreasonable at all.

As the working partner I don't think you are being unreasonable but I do think that the key is in your approach. In my experience when you have conversations about how things run in the house etc it can deteriorate into attack/defense type conversations.

I like the idea of family AGM's where instead of bringing up something in a moment of rage or after it has festered, you can talk about different things from a neutral beginning. Ask for his side. WHy does he read the paper? Its possible its just a hard wired habit. he might have never thought about changing. Or maybe he has another reason, I can't think of any but you just never know why people do things, unless you ask. I hope that makes sense.

Good luck!
