[fast5] Re: Irritability

I know how kids can require an extra range of resilience and patience. I suggest that for now you break your fast before interacting with the kids. After a few days of this, maybe a few weeks, you'll likely find that stretching the window becomes less irritabilty-provoking and you can work with it on a day-by-day basis.

Best wishes,
