She's 2, and for some reason at bed time she started screaming and trying to climb out when I put her in bed. I've gone through hunger, thirst, pain etc, checked she has her favourite toys and a spare dummy, and nothing seems to actually be wrong. She's very articulate normally, and would usually be able to tell me if she was scared or uncomfortable.
I tried cuddling her, which stopped her crying until I tried to lay her down again. I tried comforting her while she lay in bed, but this infuriated her more. I tried persuading/bribing her to lie quietly. I tried the old 'mummy just needs to pop to the toilet then I'll be back' trick.
But she just won't stop screaming. I've had to leave her before I lose it too.
She's in a toddler bed with just a bed guard up, so if she really wanted to she could follow me. But so far she hasn't and she now seems to just be screaming out of temper/for the sake of it rather than actual distressed screaming, and since I left the room (10 minutes or so) there has at least been short quiet gaps, while I was in there she was just non stop screaming.
So AIBU to just leave her to it?
