Yup, me too. And when he's tired, my son's voice gets higher, and I have to do everything for him!

I like to curl up in bed and get my hubby to make tea.

I wish you had someone right now to baby you... Take care of your self and remember self kindness x

I'll say! I try to keep to myself and not say anything because I know it will be bad. Usually a nap helps.

I do the same as Dobes. I try not to subject myself to anyone else when I'm whiny and irritable. I just find something to do that lets me keep to myself and yes a nap if I can.

Haha, you are describing me today. I've been going since 7 am and I just have to wait a few more minutes to take my blood sugar before I can have a nap. Gestational diabetes and blood sugar checks have messed with my post-lunch nap routine and that makes me super duper cranky.

I try to go to bed early for this very reason. Otherwise I say things I shouldn't and then regret it. I'm not pleasant after around 7:00PM when I've been going from 5:30AM. Naps help!

wow. I thought it was only men who did this! and sometimes my daughter and i just send her to bed or tell her to eat something and not to take her shit out on me! I used to carry snacks for some of my brothers they would get so cranky when hungry or tired! Thank goodness i don't see them anymore! i would imagine five or ten minute power naps would help as well as having something to eat with you (for the cranky hungry ones!) and life would be easier all round! Mind you i do have a few sisters who are 'like bags of rats' when they are tired or hungry too so it is not just a male thing really. I have been reduced to tears by them all on many occasions.
god bless chocolate is all i can say! god bless chocolate!
