What to do when you feel like you might snap?

[cfred]

Sorry to hear you're having a rough go. I would do exactly what you're doing. Turn on a show for the kids and vent to folks who understand. Further, I would take nap time to do NOTHING! When I tell my clients that I'm having a rough time, they're generally very good about it. They're fine with me take a few days easier than normal. I think most would be understanding if you need a bit of down time. You can, of course, always dress an easy day up - pajama day with a movie, blanket forts, extra free play at the park, an easy art activity that doesn't require much input from you (my go to is water colours).

Feel better.
