UrbanBaby Asks...
Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together

- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

[ Reply | More ]Deep breathing. I would take deep breaths and then tell myself to relax. I also asked myself: Is this going to matter tomorrow or next week? 99% of the time the answer is no. I'd also do a check with myself: Are we tired? Hungry? When we were both tired and hungry, we'd have enormous blow-outs.
