Have you ever dealt with resentment or irritation feeling towards your spouse and/or children?

Lately I've been feeling that weird irritation towards my spouse and slowly my 3yo son is starting to irritate me. I'm doing my best to act as if nothing was going on but they're both getting on my nerves. E. g. I wouldn't mind it earlier, but if my spouse goes out with his friends, it irritates me. And when my son doesn't listen to me and throws tantrums, it makes me even angry. But earlier, their behaviour wouldn't have affect how I felt.
How can I deal with it? I feel like I can explode if I continue to act as if nothing is happenning.

First off tell your spouse that it pisses you off when he goes out with his friends. Are you a stay-at-home mom? If you are then it's time for Daddy to stay at home and take care of the little one so you can have a night out with the girls. I'm old school, I spanked my kids. If you want to throw a tantrum then I'll give you a reason to cry. Might sound a little barbaric nowadays but it worked for me. They still respect me and love me
