He only does it with me, will not let me put him to bed at all. He screams so hard he goes purple (he will be 1 on Monday). He goes to sleep like a dream for DP. Now I am quite aware that it is all temper and that he is screaming for DP's attention . I have tried banishing DP from bedtime and just letting him scream but he just gets more and more wound up and more and more purple. I can cuddle him/not cuddle him/ignore him/be in the room/be out of the room/wind down with bath and story. Nothing I do will stop him screaming and let him fall asleep. I can do exactly what DP does and it still doens't stop him. I have tried accompanying DP for a few days and then gradually reducing DPs presence. No luck. So HELP I am at the end of my tether and I find it really upsetting that DS doesn't want me (although I don't show him that I try to remain impassive) I am only home for about an hour and a half to 2 hours before he goes to bed and he pretty much doesn't want to be anywhere near me.
