Got a week and a half left before the onslaught starts. Today is a knackered day so we've barely got dressed and I'm mainlining coffee and sugary crap. I've gained a lot of weight like this since DCs. Not sustainable.
DH pulls his weight but at some point most nights DS will only settle for me. He is the wriggliest sleeper imaginable - think climbing across my head for a snooze.
Controlled crying will be difficult. He's gone into a single bed (age 1.9) because he sleeps marginally better in there overall. He doesn't self settle at the start of the night and I simply can't cope with staying awake to cc through the night.
As soon as we can get the money together we'll get another double bed so at least I might have more space.
DD (4) hasn't entirely cracked it yet either, even after starting school.
FT is necessary for financial reasons. Which it didn't have to be this way.

How do you cope with a poor sleeper and full time, full on work?
