Yay way to go MIL!! I'd say you just need a bit of breathing space so you can be something other than a boo boo fixer for a few hours.

If it were me the first thing I'd do when I'm on my own is make myself some pancakes Yummy.

Take Fleury up on the massage if you can too.]]> Thu, 17 Jan 2008 07:59:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13675&PID=279382&title=stress#279382 <![CDATA[Stress : Yay, so you make sure that you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13675&PID=279349&title=stress#279349 Author: .Mel

My MIL must of known something was up. She is going to have both of the boys on Monday (as its a public holiday here) for me from 10.30 in the morning and then i'll pick them up about 6pm and we'll have dinner there. So Monday is going to be a very relaxing day hopefully.

When we live around the corner, you can always come over and borrow ours.

Treat yourself to a nice hot or cold drink (milo/smoothie)

A little its more that Andrew is partly deaf (still awaiting to do a hearing test) and that unless he is looking right at me doesn't hear me.

I got the glass and the bottle out , and me and the boys played in the back yard with the hose and the swimming pool for about an hour so that has helped a little. I'm going to have a bath tonight.

I dance and sing loudly in the living room. the kids usually join me and I don't feel like such a crap mum.

It depends what kind of stressed I am. I'm a water baby so usually it's shower, spa or pool and then I have a lie down for a while.

But sometimes a nice glass of wine does help. I even have a glass in front of me right now so cheers!! (not stressed though, just a nice day)

I also find that reading crappy romantic comedy books at bed time help.

Or could you ditch the kids for an hour or so and go and get yourself a massage.

And I know this is probably strange and TMI but I actually find being nude really soothing ]]> Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:54:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13675&PID=279037&title=stress#279037 <![CDATA[Stress : well ive been threatening to lock...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13675&PID=279028&title=stress#279028 Author: my2angels

I usually like to take myself out of the stressful situation and do something where I can relax. I guess that with kids that can be easier siad than done tho..

I have a nap
go for a walk
watch some TV staring blankly, not really focussing on anything
go for a drive
talk to a friend

These are all the things i find help when im streesed out.. Also, I have these little pastilles I get form the chemist form the same company that makes rescue rememdy. I find one or two of those and IM relaxed again!]]> Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:03:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13675&PID=278975&title=stress#278975 <![CDATA[Stress : What do you do to calm yourself...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13675&PID=278972&title=stress#278972 Author: mummy_becks

What do you do to calm yourself down when you get stressed. I'm not liking the way I am doing things at the moment - usually involves a glass and a bottle and a few cigerettes . So I want some other things to try.
