It allllways helps. Now that I have a kid I actually have better nails than ever :-) Because Sometimes I go 2 times in one week just because I NEED to get out and do something by myself and the nail place is downstairs in my building!<br /> Also a big fan of just going to get a coffee to clear my head.<br /> Wine. Lots of wine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-feel-like-youre-going-to-snap#post-2187397 Fri, 22 May 2015 17:19:43 +0000 Chuckles 2187397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't get to do this much, but when I'm in an especially bad mood I like to go to Barnes and Noble and get coffee and read magazines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-feel-like-youre-going-to-snap#post-2187374 Fri, 22 May 2015 16:41:08 +0000 Dandelion 2187374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently in my room, while my boys are watching tv in the living room. I understand having moments where you need some peace! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-feel-like-youre-going-to-snap#post-2187361 Fri, 22 May 2015 16:22:26 +0000 sarac 2187361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girl, we could all use a nap. If you can take one, do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-feel-like-youre-going-to-snap#post-2187338 Fri, 22 May 2015 15:55:38 +0000 catlady 2187338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My solution to times like these is to take a walk with headphones on, listen to some Taylor Swift, then go out and buy a fancy cookie and eat it all without sharing. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-feel-like-youre-going-to-snap#post-2187205 Fri, 22 May 2015 14:02:21 +0000 Foodnerd81 2187205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely been there. Sometimes I just need to go lay down in bed with the door closed and read or close my eyes for 15 minutes and even that helps. Going for a walk by myself sounds nice in theory, but realistically I walk with c and the stroller so much that just walking alone isn't that tempting. Going shopping alone is nice but sounds like you don't have time for that right now. </p> <p>Hope the time out is helping. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-feel-like-youre-going-to-snap#post-2187200 Fri, 22 May 2015 13:59:29 +0000 artsyfartsy 2187200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@turkeylurkey: Yes! It's helpful to know that it's just a bad day and something everyone has at some point. </p> <p>I'm starting to feel better now that I'm relaxed. Not as tempted to throw things. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-feel-like-youre-going-to-snap#post-2187187 Fri, 22 May 2015 13:53:26 +0000 turkeylurkey 2187187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! I hate days like this. I had my snapping point yesterday and posted on here to vent. That helped just getting it off my chest and hearing other mommies say the same things! Things I've done is ask DH to watch the kid while I go shopping alone. I like to go to Target and get a bag of popcorn and Icee and walk around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-feel-like-youre-going-to-snap#post-2187179 Fri, 22 May 2015 13:46:58 +0000 artsyfartsy 2187179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Well he's about to head out for his weekly basketball thing he has. But I've locked myself in the bedroom for a bit to just chill out before he leaves. A "time out" like @lovehoneybee: said. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-feel-like-youre-going-to-snap#post-2187177 Fri, 22 May 2015 13:44:30 +0000 lovehoneybee 2187177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @Mamaof2:. Get out of the house for a bit and do something nice for yourself. Reset your mood. </p> <p>(and FWIW, more than once D has put *me* in time-out...when he thought I was getting too snappish with E he would pretty much demand that I go get my shit straightened out and reset my mood....and it helped!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-feel-like-youre-going-to-snap#post-2187176 Fri, 22 May 2015 13:44:15 +0000 hilsy85 2187176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exercise always gets me out of a funk. Going for a 10 minute hard run gets the endorphins pumping. Barring that, a glass of wine, or a hot shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-feel-like-youre-going-to-snap#post-2187173 Fri, 22 May 2015 13:40:19 +0000 Mamaof2 2187173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artsyfartsy: If DH is home with DS then I would def get away!!</p> <p>Go grab a coffee or something and get some time to breathe alone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-feel-like-youre-going-to-snap#post-2187171 Fri, 22 May 2015 13:38:36 +0000 artsyfartsy 2187171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having one of those days where I feel like I could flip the dining room table over in frustration. We had T's well visit this morning and it all went fine, but his doctor is an hour away. So by the time we ate lunch and everything T was just done and threw a fit the whole way home. </p> <p>He's been fighting naps and sleep lately so getting him down for a nap was a nightmare. </p> <p>I'm just in a bad mood. I'm ready to snap at DH any time he talks to me. He just not so nicely told me I needed to go take a nap. I not so nicely told him to leave me alone for a few minutes. I think I just need some space. :/</p> <p>What's your fix when you feel this way? </p>
