Distressing!

How old is your little boy? I have a seven year old son and the only thing that can tick me and my husband off is when he's being stubborn. When he doesn't immediately follow our command and would talk back to us. We really consider it rude. When my husband is mad, i try to cool him off, when i'm mad he does the same thing. We hardly get mad at the same time to our son.

Loving mum and dad both hug him together and say we love you. Yet if his moody then carry him and and ask him,are you hungry. Give all the sweet talks. He is waiting to be carried in your arms. Hope I am right, this is what I do to my son, either he will cry or give me a broad smile. May God bless you both loved mum, dad and lovable son.

just recently my wife had to complain about the kids, the house chores, etc. because she is the one who's left in the house everyday. she would complain about how tired she is. i know how stressful being in the house and do the same chores every day, again and again. i go to work everyday for us to continue living and that is a given situation for a father. and most of the time, the work is also stressful. and some times, it adds up to the situation at home. my wife used to do cross-stitching and playing games online, to de-stress. and i too use the internet. i spent most of my internet time on mylot though.

For me, a quiet drive around is a good form of 'distressing'. When it gets a little too much with the kids at home, I volunteer myself to do errands, or run to the store. And I would take a long route, usually through some grassy fields or trees. I would feel much better when I get back home.

listening to music is really a good thing when it comes to distressing. i think most of the time what helps me is either comfort eating or listening to music.
