After and episode of seeing how broken of a person he is, apparently he's irritable and impatient. Well, he's always this way, but at least try to be calm or something. He's pretty much criticising Emma's(and Regina's) son right in from of them and they let it go. Who is Hook to be impatient when he;s the reason they are in this mess.

Rumple may be self-loathing and controlling, Regina may be hypocritical, Zelena may be whiny, but Hook has no claim to be this way against the Charmings and especially Henry. Emma turned Hook into the one thing he spent two hundred years trying to defeat. He paid the price for Emma's use of the Darkness to save his life, and he didn't even get to live at the end of it. So in actuallity everyone is in the Underworld because of Emma not paying the price. However, Hook was in the wrong here for taking out his frustrations on Henry and Snow.

I'm doing bad things because you pissed me off" is an excuse found in the "battered wife syndrom", a syndrom that is part of an abusive relationship.  I don't deny that Emma has been selfish and what she did to Hook was wrong. However, everything he does or the way he behaves or how he reacts to what she did is solely on him and he should take responsibility for being a horrible person and not blame Emma.
