Episode 28: Why Is He Always So Grumpy? The Quiet Stress of Dads in the Chaos of Summer

Ever find yourself tiptoeing around your husband’s bad mood...especially during summer break?

In this episode of Struggle & Strength: Moms Balancing It All, I’m opening up about something real: the short fuse our husbands seem to have when routines go out the window and the house feels chaotic.

This isn’t a husband-bashing episode. It’s a conversation about:

• Why dads often struggle with patience when the house is loud, messy, and unpredictable

• How the stress they carry shows up in anger, withdrawal, or frustration

• Why moms end up in the middle, absorbing the emotional load for everyone

• And how we can hold space for more grace—for them and for ourselves

If summer is feeling more like a tension-filled circus than a relaxing break, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about what’s really going on in our homes… and how we can find peace in the middle of the chaos.
