Very cathartic to read! My kids are teens now but I do remember the couch cushions and food battles. One thing my husband did which alleviated some of my rage was he put out a plate of fruit and veg for the kids to graze on all day so I didn't care so much when they didn't eat much at dinner.
I get irrationally angry about the extravagant use of toiletries of mine, like conditioner or lotions, on projects such as slime recipes sourced from YouTube by my 8yo.
