Don't post on facebook when you're mad...

... and other smart ideas.

Make sure there are no objects in your hand when you scream at child.

Put a pillow over your head when you bellow obscenities.

Make sure the windows are closed, too. Pillows have a way of moving rapidly.

Get it all out in one session; saves time and energy.

Do not, under any circumstances, look victim in the eye until the carnage has passed.

Upon completion of necessary tirade, quickly self-intervene with rational measures:
Disengage from artery of victim.
Do not drive for 2 hours, unless a matter of life or death.
Do not dispense punishment or judgement for 24 hrs.
Do not self-mutilate, deprecate, or agitate.
Do pray ferociously.
Do reflect upon God's gracious mercy.
Don't call you mother; she'll remind you what a lousy mother you are.
Do not communicate with negative people.
Do not call father of said children home from work, unless there is morbidity involved.
Do not message him regarding his spawn; he has work to do, and that's not fair.
Remember that children are a blessing.
Try to visualize and remember bringing them home from the hospital, (as opposed to sending them back to the hospital.)
Do not, under any circumstances, tabulate the exact cost of their damages at this critical time.
Do begin preparing to assess necessity for apology, and begin visualizing it's formation, if possible. This may take some time; it's okay.
Breathe.
Deeply.
Find some good music and a cup of tea.
Do not despair.
Please.
