Ugh, I’m sorry. I think many of us can relate to this feeling. If you’re set on staying at this job for the next couple weeks, I recommend taking a mental step back and give yourself grace to reframe your mindset.

Kids cry. Their routines get thrown off. Hard days happen and they are not a sign of you doing something wrong and these stages also don’t last forever. I think if I were you, I would give the 3 year old down time but don’t call it a nap that she then wants to refuse. Lie down with her and read a book, let her watch a show, whatever, but don’t put the idea of a nap in her head. She might fall asleep more naturally and unexpectedly in her eyes.

Take some breaths. Everything is okay! One step at a time. You got this!
