A Humorous Stress Less Idea
For the last entry of National Stress Øut Week, I want to share some thoughts on humor.
Keeping a sense of humor is essential when dealing with parenting challenges, and it's even more important during the holidays when Stress tops the charts.
Here is a laughable idea you might want to take seriously.
From Jennifer Spinuzzi at Tropical Fruit Bowl:
My suggestion for a stress free Thanksgiving... HIDE! Turn off the phones, change your address and come back after New Years. Other than that, maybe a little more wine with dinner or Nyquil in the stuffing.
(Read Jennifer's November 13th entry "Bored." As a parent, you will definitely relate.)
Another idea is to let your child eat whatever makes him happy on Thanksgiving day (as long as he is not allergic to it of course) or let him NOT eat if that's his choice.
Yes, my daughter would like a Happy Meal. Please hold the meal and she’ll be happy.
This line is from Shut Up About Your Perfect Kid. Check them out for irreverent parenting suggestions.

I definitely like the hiding idea!
