It's a job at times to get my kids into bed. They aren't naughty but it's like they can't/won't acknowledge its bed time lol!
Iv tried everything but I end up either laying with them until they fall asleep or sitting in their room telling them time and time again it's bed time, go to sleep now please ect....
Then once they are asleep I then get on with jobs in the house ect.. Well that's if I don't fall asleep when I lay with them. When this happens I wake up in the middle of the night in a panic thinking at 04.00am all the jobs I didn't get done.. = tired mummy!!
When I get to bed after jobs I wake up to the kids in bed with me, bless them they are quite cosy and snug lol but still in my bed and I don't have an inch to move. I toss and turn and currently being 39 weeks pregnant it's now getting to me.
My DC are 5.5 and 2.5 years old. I need to get it sorted not just for me but for them too.. They appear to be anxious about sleeping without me or not having me in their room. I don't know why but there it is.
Anyone fancy sharing any strategies with me at all? Tired mummy in need. Also thinking when my new born is here and I'm sat up in the night breast feeding I can't juggle all 3 children at 04.00am lol help!!
