Miss my Dd after she has gone to bed

I spend the day trying to wear her out and ages trying to get her to bed then an hour after she's asleep, I miss her!

AIBU?

Hehe, one of mine's 2.4 as well

Bloody lovely age IMO.

I know the feeling. My DD is 15 months, and has me on the go all day long, but when she's in bed the house is so quite....feels strange, and I miss her.

She still wakes a couple of times in the evening though for a booby feed, and this gives me a chance for a snuggle!

I am hoping the opportunity to miss DS arises sometime soon. It should have hours ago but he is holding out strongly. Perhaps he thinks I'll miss him too much....

Yes YABU, bedtime is sacred time in this house but then I have a 6 month old ds to go with my 2 year old dd :)

I miss ds (19mo) when he's in bed, even though that's not normally till 9pm. Sometimes dh and I look at photos of him in the evening and practically well up.

Tragic isn't it?!

Mrsjay · 28/04/2012 23:11

My 19 yr old is still up annoying us i really really really wish she would go to bed , it really will pass the feeling of missing them

MrsHerculePoirot · 28/04/2012 23:17

Exactly the same here - DH and I were discussing it earlier! She fell out of bed tonight (never does this!) with a real bump so we both got some extra cuddles with her!

MrsHerculePoirot · 28/04/2012 23:17

She is 2.4 too!

ExitPursuedByABear · 28/04/2012 23:20

Nah - I don't miss mine when she goes to bed, because I know before long she will be in with me. She is 12.

Why would I not want to sleep with her? She is gorgeous and fabulous and she can't argue with me when she is asleep - well, she does talk a lot in her sleep but what the hell - she won't want to do it when she is 18!

BlueRinse · 28/04/2012 23:20

Mine didn't go to bed until 9.45 so I don't miss them all one bit.

I will also wish they didn't miss me at 7.30am when all 3 jump on my bed and fight for the warm spot!!

aquashiv · 28/04/2012 23:21

Its good to miss you children I relish that feeling.
With three of them it doesnt happen that often but I would say indeed on the the very rare occassions I have it its rather close to happiness...

Beveridge · 28/04/2012 23:21

YANBU

But I assume they sleep through?

Mine don't, so it's never that long before I see them again so I don't feel the same about mine!

aquashiv · 28/04/2012 23:25

I would just add they are at the age where they are obsessed with me and want to marry me and if I am not in their line of vision they cry the moment they set eyes on me.

I used to loook longlingly at mine too smell them and everything but now I run as fast as my little legs will carry me when I can get away from them.

RobinSparkles · 28/04/2012 23:34

When mine are in bed I want to wake them up to give them a cuddle. They look so gorgeous and sweet but when they wake up I wished they'd sod off back to bed! :o

She doesn't sleep through. Never has so I know she will wake pretty soon and come into bed with me and DH. All snuggly and lovely!

YANBU I miss ds when he's in bed too and when I'm at work. Ds is 2.11 and is definitely at the best age :)
