We have a four year old and a one year old, not a night passes without one of them waking up and waking the rest of us up. Why oh why can the pair of them not understand that bedtime is for sleeping? so utterly sick to death of it.

I hear you. I'm currently rocking a pram in the kitchen to get the 1yo to go back to sleep. Was in to the toddler earlier, who'd been sick through coughing. A normal night here.

Lying horizontally.

I'm on the other side of the world, nearly 10pm, 22mo DD still fucking pratting around. DS (nearly 5) has only gone down because I put him in our bed.

And yes DD will definitely get me up several times in the night. If she does her miraculous sleep-through-once-every-three-months thing, DS will break his usually impeccable sleep for that night only

I feel your pain. The two year old had a good sleep (didn't wake up until 4am) but the dog woke me up three times instead.

I find myself fantasising about a single bed in a hotel room, white sheets, no tv, no noise, no interruptions

I haven't had a good night's sleep for over 4 years. It sucks. But I hear it gets better Smile

Mine are 6 & 4 and we probably get 3 unbroken nights per week. So that's progress to some extent right....?

Last night dd2 woke up screaming like a banshee, we, assuming there was a burglar or a fire happening, dashed to her side. The actual reason? Itchy bottom.

Feel your pain, grim night here again, just 4 year old keeps coming through with increasingly BULLSHIT excuses and 3 month old going through some hideous sleep regression and up seemingly hourly. I look like worzel gummidge.
Apparently it'll get better!

Yanbu. It's almost 5yr old DD who causes most the problems in this house. She starts school this week and I have all my hopes, and sanity, pinned on her starting to sleep better. Even 6yo DS has the odd wander at night. They were actually great sleepers as babies / toddlers, it's the pre-school years that have been grim.
