Sorry, that's a stupidly long title but does anyone recognise this? We have a dd who is 3.5 and a 6 month old ds who doesn't sleep well. We are both permanently knackered zombies, me from getting up with ds and dh because he suffers from bad insomnia. Once the dc are in bed we just collapse in front of the telly (or me on mn), barely talk and then slouch up to bed for a night of non-sleep. It's utterly crap. We can't go out at night because ds wakes so frequently and randomly and won't take a bottle. ATM it just feels llike we are existing side-by-side with no real connection. Although we do talk to one another about how rubbish things are just now, and that it will get better etc, but WHEN! How can we perk ourselves up without being able to get out in the evening?
