Mostly tired. I don't deal well with hystery. Our 6yo reached a phase of tantrums "because his Lego piece fell down" and I'm done. One, two tries of approaching it calmly, but once he makes shit like this everybody's problem, I'm dreaming about a bucked of icy water.

i typically deal with the hysterics a bit better than Wifey, but there are just some days where i'm just over it lol

We learned how to tap out each other from child-handling situations if we feel things are going south and our partner is running low on intellectual energy. But yeah, sometimes we get the feeling that a more old-school approach would be beneficial too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
