I took the bait

My husband has cursed, yelled at 4am, punched walls and hit our dogs in front of our 5 mo baby. But this morning I said “shhh” to her when she was screaming and he lectured me about not being negative to our daughter and how she can sense my frustration.

He was upset that we’re spending Thanksgiving with my family and was trying to anger me. I took the bait and argued when I know I shouldn’t have. I should’ve brought up everything he’s done in front of her and how me saying shh is not a big deal but instead I kept saying how nice I am to her all the time and what a good mom I am 😭

Why do I still take the bait when I know he doesn’t even mean what he says he’s just trying to make me miserable….😩
