The Doorstep Dump

Unloading a day's worth of stress, complaints, and demands the moment your husband walks through the door.

Bombarding his nervous system immediately upon his arrival makes the home feel like a stressful environment he will want to avoid. It prevents him from properly transitioning from work mode to being a present partner.

What this looks like
Handing him a crying child and a list of chores before he has even set his work bag down.
Immediately complaining about how difficult your day was without first asking how his day went.
Starting an argument about a forgotten task the second he arrives home from a long shift.
