I've been warned

Just got a text from my wife:
"I am an emotional nightmare. Get excited"
Even at her worst she usually isn't bad. She doesn't hold a candle to the horror we see on tv or hear about through the grapevine. At least I got a heads up. I'll know what I am walking into when I get home from work.

Re: I've been warned
Bad news guys....
Those "emotional nightmare" events do not go away post birth. My mother has never once taken my side when it comes to my wife and I getting into spats.
Since I am now the sole target of my wife's emotional, hormonal wrath, my mother actually looks out for me more than she ever has in my adult life.
My wife says a lot of this post birth emotional stress has to do with her becoming a mother, being nervous about that, while losing her identity as a wife only and an independent woman.
I am guessing none of us guys goes that deep with our emotions when it comes to being new dads....
