Ds is nearly 3 1/2. Gorgeous, funny, bright as a button. Generally pretty good during the day for me, but bedtime is just a disaster. Tonight it took nearly two hours, and I just can't bear it. I always end up shouting in the end and then he is just distraught and I feel terrible. For dh and grandparents he goes down like a dream. For me it's running around/shouting/refusing to listen to stories/refusing to get dressed. Anything to prolong his time with me. Does anyone have any tips? We have had a solid bedtime routine in place since day 1. By the end of the shenanigans I am desperate to get him into bed, and then he goes to sleep and I feel so sad that it was so stressful.
