ignoring the neighbour thing...

was just curious in case was only person in world who had kids napping till 5-6pm and then obviously putting lo to sleep bit later

thanks for support!

you are all stars!!!

I share your pain! I have similar neighbours. They are being unreasonable. Tell them that you will do your best and then do what you think is right. They'll live.

My ds1 is 2 and gets in the shower at abot 7pm and is washed, dried and ready for bed between half past and 8pm.
Last night, he was up until just gone 10pm because he'd napped alot in the day.
There's no point putting a child to bed if they won't go to sleep (within reason).
I wouldn't worry about the neighbours, who cares what they think. You know your child and you know when and how much sleep s/he needs.
You're not doing anything wrong at all. You have found a routine tat suits your child. Perfect IMO

thanks - yes wakes uo form nap 5-6 simply cannot expect him to sleep at 7



no they dont have children but what do i say to them when once lareayd they have asked ot keep noise down?

Mine were both up at about 6-7 at that age.

Ignore the neighbours. His routine is absolutely fine. Do they have children?

well, it's none of the neighbours business.

it is unusual I would say, for most 2 yr olds to be up and out at that time. but like I say, if it works for you then it's absolutely fine.

That's fine if it works for all of you. It's not like a 2 year old has to be up and ready for school at a certain time or anything.

neighbours looked at me real bad today when little one was playing in garden at 8:30

got gut feeling - oh dear am i doing this wrong?

then huge tantrum as tried to put him to bed routine at 9 but nothing to do with being tired...just going through a phase of wanting everytings his own way

but i did feel that i bet neighbours think am bad mum with all that screaming

Sounds fine to me. Has somebody said something?
