Coming home after a long day of work and having to deal with kids can be difficult. When you have had a bad day you may not want to take care of a child, but you have to. Just take a deep breath and try to focus on positive things while you forget your bad day.

Key Takeaways:

• We’ve all been there. It’s 5 p.m. and you’re wondering how early you can get away with putting the kids to bed. They refused all of their naps and are tiny, fussy tornadoes. Your baby is unhappy, and nothing you do helps soothe him.
• Thanks to time and experience, I’ve found fail-proof ways to soothe the baby, keep the toddlers happy, and not go crazy myself.
• Talk a walk. Put your kids in the stroller and your baby in the carrier and take a walk around your neighborhood. The fresh air will do your mind and body good and the kids will be excited about seeing all the sights outdoors.

“If your baby is very fussy before bed and doesn’t want to sleep, trying using a white noise machine.”
