I am the same though - when I feel stressed my first reaction is to try to make them crack down (I think fatigue and stress sap the strength needed to fight off the 'shoulds'). Happily I am learning to just give them days off when I feel stressed 'cos I know otherwise we will all be in for a miserable time :( <br />Hope your week has improved too! xxYarwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03098749995710313233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830837025531932611.post-38981226883075432012013-02-27T12:51:46.757+00:002013-02-27T12:51:46.757+00:00not awful at all Rachel - there is great comfort i...not awful at all Rachel - there is great comfort in solidarity!

Totally agree with the bad days at home are not as bad as when they were at school. I still wish i could handle things better - my stubborness kicks in and on an off day instead of trying a different approach i end up trying to get them to acheive and cooperate more which just leads to more stress - i know i need to change my tactics but in the moment i find it hard to. Hope the rest of your week is good! xRebecca Beesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320887790758765511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830837025531932611.post-31954158999021686822013-02-25T16:20:31.284+00:002013-02-25T16:20:31.284+00:00Oh dear, is it awful of me that I'm glad I was...Oh dear, is it awful of me that I'm glad I wasn't the only one having a bad day today?! Although it sounds like you have got a lot more "educational" stuff done that we have! Here's hoping the rest of the week will be much better for us all! <br />R xRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04290653909989504581noreply@blogger.com
