Ask yourself… have you ever talked someone out of a bad mood? I didn’t think so. Of course, I don’t have to worry about this because I am never in a bad mood. My wife certainly never gets in a bad mood. My kiddos either. But just on the off chance that one of you ever does find yourself in this far fetched situation, really take that to heart.
The only solution to this type of mood is a bit of time and space. Give your spouse and kiddos room to simply be grumpy. It happens… well, so I am told at least. Time and/or sleep will heal this eventually. Your logic and reasoning will only prolong it. And yes, this does apply even if the person is 100% wrong and being ridiculous. Don’t worry, they will have a chance to return the favor to you before too long.
This is a great piece of marriage advice; good to know it’s applicable for parenting too!
