Stay at home moms, our temperaments get the better of us, especially when we are trapped at home for several days. How do you realistically deal with it?

Have a hobby, maintain a support system consisting of friends (a mix of mommies and non mommies). With the mommies you can rant about children, household related stuff while with the non mommy friends, you can get your mind of your mommy duties :) step out, take a walk with your child every now and then. Hang in there, Mommy!
