Don't let it bother you. You sound like a very good mom.

That little yellow light is making her crazy.
I will never say its my husband's fault if one of those lights comes on in my car. But I will drive around paranoid until it gets fixed or he looks at it.

My wife asks me a million questions, one million a day. Often I dont know the answer because I am just not that smart. Sometimes I say I dont know the answer because I am so goddamn tired of answering questions. On those times she can sniff me out. It is my fault. I just hung up from one of those conversations.

I have seen those places. They may be invisible to females.

You married guys bitch more than teachers

Me being the real father of your kid, my seed squirted directly into your wife's cervix with my superior alpha penis.
That is totally not your fault.

I think that what might be going on here is that a lot of guys interpret a “complaint”, or even a simple statement of a fact as “blame”.
For example, someone here mentioned that his wife blamed him for not giving the kid preemptive allergy medicine. Often guys (myself included) respond with something defensive, like “How the heck am I supposed to know that?” Or “I’m not a fortune teller!”
What this does (in her head) is invalidates what she’s trying to say. You’re feeling defensive. She’s feeling like you’re not hearing her. Argument begins.
A better reposonse in that situation would be something like, “I never would have thought to do that.” That both validates what she’s trying to say and diffuses the situation.

Can your wife not call AAA or call in to work and let them know what's going on?

and yet somehow the tires on our vehicles did just fine for 100 years without a government-mandated TPM system that works like complete shite.
how about you tell me WHICH frickING TIRE is generating the yellow light so i can have a mechanic replace the broken sensor in it?

I do hate the tire pressure sensor, its way too sensitive.

My kid puked this morning. All over me and the floor and himself after I was already dressed for work and him for daycare. I sure am an a-hole.

Shouldn't that number actually be in the negatives from all of the "sales" ?

It's nice that you acknowledge this. Admitting it is always the first step.

What did you buy? A Saturn or some pos? All that I've seen tell you the pressure in each tire...of course they're incorrect, but just use a tire gauge and fill each tire to an equal level above the sensor trip point.

Seems like every time I think my wife is crazy and wonder if I some how picked a crazy one compared to everyone else...I stumble upon one of these threads and realize once again that she's just a woman.

Congrats on tiptoeing around your wife. The actual response to that statement would have been, "Obviously you wouldn't, now look at him." Validation? Diffusion? No, escalation.

It’s not tiptoeing around anything. It’s controlling your own response and refusing to escalate a situation that doesn’t need to be escalated.
And if she replies that way, she clearly wants a fight. Why have one? Do you control your emotions or does she?

You're right, but I like to poke the hornets nest. How long you been married?
