What do you do when you’re really f’king angry? (lemmy.world)

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?

Accept the fact that life doesn't always (actually, never) goes as planned or is easy. Them think about how much your life works suck of all the people who angered you today were not in your life (you have to think past the initial "I can do whatever I want" phase and into the "I'm an adult whose only purpose in life is to survive because of instinct").

Then hug those kids before bed, tell them you love them, ask them if tomorrow they well try to do better if you promise to do the same (whatever the did, this is generic).

When your wife comes home, greet her with a clean kitchen and a glass of water with cucumber in it or something, tell her the kids settled down and you got to relax for a bit, and ask her how things went.
