[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One small suggestion—I have a playlist of only upbeat, energizing songs.  It is almost miraculous how much it helps my outlook to put it on.  Ice cream also helps buy that usually just makes me feel worse later — the music has no side effects!  
It’s also okay if the toddler cries in his crib for a while.  I had a baby that didn’t sleep and I remember once being sick and thinking if we both just died in that moment at least I would not have to get out of bed and get her again.  If you need sleep, put in earplugs and sleep.  It’s not ideal but you need to be functional.
Also agree with lettting go of any non essential shit like cleaning and cooking.  It’s a great day for boxed Mac and cheese and frozen nuggets or whatever will make your life easier.  Order a ubereats sweet green salad for yourself — healthy food will make you feel a little better.  [/quote]

Same about the music! I have a pandora playlist that I turn on when the kids are rough (4-7pm is so hard!). I can focus on the music instead of getting angry at their whining/screaming/fighting and am more pleasant. Sounds dumb but it helps both dh and I. Keeping calm is crucial[/quote]
