Why is it 1.28am in the morning and im on the computer instead of curled up in bed.
Blame of my youngest daughter currently scribbling on the black board and my eldest looking through a recipe book!!!!!!!!!!!!! . I sware i have no idea whats up with both the girls refusing to sleep the past few weeks, i just know its going to be about 4/5 before they go back down.
Of course DH is in bed sound asleep, refused both my suggestion of maybe getting up with them in the morning (he can’t as he is working that day, at the very early time of 4 PM) or him staying up with them and me going to bed (he cannot face it tonight as he is to tired WHAT - I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS MORE OR LESS EVERY NIGHT FOR TWO WEEKS. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW TIRED I AM I JUST HAVE TO DO IT)
Ok im going to stop writing , im beyond angry at DH and so frustrated with the girls. Im exhausted and down right miserable, lets hope the new year brings some sleep.
“Co-sleeping” is never fun when there’s no “sleeping.” Sorry for this. I hope it does turn around soon.
At least one is looking at cookbooks! Maybe you can get her to help out in the kitchen?
Sorry. I really hope things turn around soon!
I feel your pain, I really do (the dh part hits awfully close to home), lol. I hope you get some sleep soon, they have to crash sooner or later.
Little night owls are so frustrating. I’m sorry hon, and hope it gets resolved soon. I know what it’s like when it’s always YOU that gets to deal with stuff like that. But at least it’s both the girls, so hopefully both will sleep really, really late once they do conk out!
So sorry! The DH part I can understand. Im having a similar problem with him not wanting to just help me out with things.
I’ve not had this problem myself, but have you tried making them stay in bed or if that’s not possible, keeping the lights low and toys out and not interacting much with them? So they get the idea that it’s not time to be up and playing, but sleeping? Just a thought. Hopefully they’ve been doing a little better for you these past few weeks.
I did not have this problem and may be way off base in saying anything. I did wake my children up at a specific time in the morning, (7:00), because there were days we drove my husband to work and went to the city to meet with friends and also to grocery shop. They got used to waking at the time. I also noticed for my kids (I know it is different for other kids), they stopped taking daily naps at 18 months. They would nap in the afternoons in the vehicle if we went somewhere, but other days they wouldn’t. At that age, they would go to bed and to sleep at 7 pm. There were non-nap days, at that age in which we would struggle to keep them awake until 7, and there were days they would be in their crib or bed that we had to keep laying them down and telling them to go to sleep. They had a night light and books, and were not allowed to get up or stay up. My neighbour thought I was mean because there were days I was out with 4 kids (6 and under) before she was up. I told her she should call social services on the parents in Montreal, because technically those kids were getting up 2 hours before mine (and likely going to bed 2 hours earlier). When we changed from or to, day light savings time, and the kids were little, I just adjusted their bed time, by 15 minutes every couple of days. I am just telling you my experience, you have different children, different family life, different thoughts and perspectives and I have just come for a visit. If what I have said doesn’t apply at all, please ignore my ramblings.
