You share the power in the house, being co-owner, co-parent, and general extrovert in a pair of "verts." The power of a gender can multiply by 100 in a room with only 1 addition of a gender, because the balance is tilted toward favor of one gender. In this case, the matriarchal figure is "times 2," taking 1/3 of your total gender clout away in your normal home experience.
Also, your immense respect for your wife and for your mother (simultaneously) just shows your senses were prone to becoming over-wrought, in which case most average guys with immense respect would, without thinking twice, be a little abrasive as a response of the super-ego, in order to keep the pressure (of expectation and command) "off."
Perhaps the ladies were sharing a sacred bonding moment (without words or actions, just being) that was interrupted, no matter by you or a air-raid siren - they would have reacted the same to either.
Normal ways of handling the stress of expectation go out the window when the power balance shift as dramatically as having your wife and your mother bonding in the same space you are trying to do your normal routine in.
Let's just hope you don't get hooked on Season 9 of America's Next Top Model.
BTW, a great way to relieve the stress of expectations made by other people is to meditate and concentrate on recreating your inner being - while getting a massage! :)
