Feel like I should make a song... my son has decided after two years of going to bed like a legend (he’s two years and three months) that that’s not fun anymore and he’s going to make it difficult! He won’t walk up the stairs now - he prefers to be carried so he can thrash about a bit. Nor will he stay in bed - preferring to get out and scream on the landing. He also won’t go to sleep without someone being nearby or else we go back to the screaming on the landing.
Tonight I am stuck on the landing while he shuffles about in his bed - peeks at me (for closing the door leads to aforementioned screaming) and generally does everything barring go to sleep.
My feet are freezing and I’m
Dying for a wee. He is quiet as a mouse but I am being held hostage by a two year old terror!! Who also kept shouting “mummy don’t go” when stopped at his childminder this morning despite then never wanting to leave at pick up time!
Is this a slippery slope from now on? Does my floppy haired little dude become a complete tyrant who controls my life like a dictator forever? Will I ever get off this f*+@ing landing?
I am being peeked at yet he lays back down when told. I keep thinking he’s asleep only to hear him shuffling about again. One day I know I’ll struggle to get him out of bed - but for now I’d just settle for him going to sleep as he’s got eyes like pissholes in the snow!
Why do people do this more than once!! I raise my cup to you
