Handling the Stressful Days in Your Family


So, we are about to do one of the most stressful things that a family can do- move.

Since I know that is coming what should I do to prevent exploding when I get frustrated?

Here is my plan:

* Travel to some remote cabin, and have my wife call me when it's over
(just kidding), but it does sound good!

Really now:

* Try to prevent adding to the stress by listing details that need accomplished.

* Build in some fun, unwinding time

* Keep each relationship close and meaningful

* Keep everything in perspective

* Listen to my wife's needs along the way and meet them best that I can

We do need to pay special attention to our relationships in times where we know stress will be a factor. If we don't stuff just builds up and we might say things that we don't mean and then you have a mess in your relationships as well as trying to move.

Leave a comment with other ways that you can think of to help me make the best in a stressful situation worse.
