I wish you …..

Which expressions would you use for each of these photographs?

1st picture... I can't stand it anymore. What is it occuring to him? he has two young children who are filling their time fighting and shouting while he wanted to take a nap. Or he can't stand anymore hearing his wife all day long at the phone with her friends slandering eveyone, or hearing his wife criticizing his mother.
2d... He is talking with a friend who is explaining him how much his wife is spendthrift. And when he reads their bank statement, he cries out : 'you don't say'!
3d... The mother is thinking : 'Thanks be to God ! at last my little monkey is asleep... sleep well!'

Thanks be to God! - sounds a little old-fashioned, we would tend to say just "Thank God!" The subjunctive is in a moribund state in English!

What is occurring to him - here this would mean "What is he thinking [of or about]?" see the 3rd definition here:

Excellent, as usual!

explain to... indirect object: X explained Y to Z.
