how do you get through the tough days?

Stress, stress, stress. It's getting to us all. My DD, who's been potty trained for a year, is having accidents all over the place. I am having major asthma problems and am having a tough time getting a handle on it. Money is tight tight tight. We are at each other's throats all day. I am now having a cup of tea and then will take a nice warm shower and go to sleep. How d you deal with the stress, with the bad days.

it looks like you instinctively know what to do: a long shower or bath, cuppa tea, nap.


first - don't worry about your dd and potty training. i don't know how old she is - but i would just put her back into diapers and try again in a month. my son went thru the exact same thing, he was three when i divorced his father. once things settle down, you can try again.


second - try, as much as you can, to work in regular exercise, yoga/relaxation, healthy meals, etc into your daily life. prioritize: let the house work go, but take care of yourself!
