Well I can wholeheartedly recommend taking a Vitamin B complex (i.e. the whole combination) - it's an established nerve tonic and will certainly reduce your irritability and help make you calmer for longer spells. Choose one with a fairly high dosage e.g. 100 mg daily of each Vitamin B. Any excess that is not required just gets flushed out, since it is a water soluble vitamin. My experience is that it takes about one and a half hours to kick in and lasts about 2 hours, i.e. may need to take it about twice a day to time it for those particularly stressful occasions.
If you have a yeast-related condition, e.g. athlete's foot, thrush or candida, then buy one that's yeast free.
You probably realise that a young child will pick up and reflect your mood/irritability, so not showing your present condition to the child (as much as is possible) would benefit you both.
Also do you meditate? This might also be helpful to you.
