Sometimes she's a cranky pants if I'm not playing with her, but sometimes I just don't care. As long as she's not crying, than I just deal with it because sometimes we just need a break! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-cranky#post-168054 Thu, 24 May 2012 16:21:02 +0000 chopsuey 168054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I jump on the computer or take a nap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-cranky#post-167688 Thu, 24 May 2012 13:13:21 +0000 LuLu Mom 167688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no, hopefully he calms down soon.

Do you have a baby carrier? Maybe just wearing him around the house? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-cranky#post-167679 Thu, 24 May 2012 13:10:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 167679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: aww sad! Well LO is still too little for TV, and I've exhausted the swing and bouncer today. He won't sit in them anymore lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-cranky#post-167674 Thu, 24 May 2012 13:09:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 167674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lozza: yes, I would do both those things normally. But it's pouring outside, so no walk and my husband took the car to work today (he normally bikes) because of the rain. I'm counting down minutes til when he gets home lol only 2 more hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-cranky#post-167673 Thu, 24 May 2012 13:09:29 +0000 mrs. wagon 167673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's when I used to turn on the TV or resort to the baby swing when he was younger. Just to take me to the end of the day. Then when Wagon Sr. came home I'd hand him over and escape!! Either to the couch to watch tv, or to the stores to run errands or shop or get a pedicure, or to my bedroom to cry. Usually the last option!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-cranky#post-167659 Thu, 24 May 2012 13:05:30 +0000 Lozza 167659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Would driving around help? It doesn't do much for my LO now, but when he was younger, I could usually just stick him in the car and he'd be quiet, if not asleep, for most of the time.<br /> Now if I'm stuck with LO and he is being a pain, I'll often try sticking him in the stroller (if I think he's tired) or on the push-tricycle (if he's plenty awake) and going for a walk. It's not relaxing, but at least I can kind of turn off my brain and it keeps LO quiet and happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-youre-cranky#post-167640 Thu, 24 May 2012 12:58:15 +0000 Mrs. Pen 167640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And you still have to take care of LO, they're not napping, they didn't let you sleep last night, it's the end of the week and you're ready to be done?!</p> <p>seriously, I LOVE my LO but he is driving me nuts today. I cannot wait for DH to get home and help me out. I'm running on empty today. DS isn't even napping long enough for me to eat. </p>
