Any tips to make bedtime less stressful?
Routine is - quiet activity after dinner, bath/shower,then dh puts ds (20mths) to bed,i read/telly with dd1 (6)and dd2 (4) then bed-they share a room
Problem is, girls won't get in the bath / won't get out of the bath without a huge fuss. Then getting into bed one or both strop again- latest argument is about who I kiss goodnight to first! So by the time they are in bed, laid down and going to sleep everyone is at breaking point and I have ended up shouting etc. once settled they do stay in bed and are usually asleep within 15 mins. Bedtime is between 6.30-7.30 depending on how tired everyone is.
All tips greatly received
