I’ve not had a good day today. The kids have been shits, my wife has winged at me for not doing something I have already done, I’m hot, tired and stressed from work and fed up of not having a good nights sleep due to my 3 year old waking us up in the middle of the night constantly.
I want to rage at something but I can’t leave the house. I have access to a gaming PC, PS5 and all the movies the streaming services have to offer, my wife isn’t home so it’s just me and a couple of kids who should be asleep in the next hour or two.
I need some catharsis, what would you do?
I honestly just go outside and sit in the quiet or go for a walk/drive. Nothing good comes with yelling or fighting in my experience so I just take myself out of the situation until I can get a level head to handle whatever the problem is. In your case, when you get the time maybe take a cold bath (I like to take one in the dark) and listen to music/podcasts since you can’t leave the house
