to just want a night's complete sleep without one of them fucking waking us up

[hooochycoo]

We have a four year old and a one year old, not a night passes without one of them waking up and waking the rest of us up. Why oh why can the pair of them not understand that bedtime is for sleeping? so utterly sick to death of it.

YANBU

Sorry to hear it. Hope things improve for you.

I know how you feel. I hear it gets better...

You're not alone :(

I hear you. I'm currently rocking a pram in the kitchen to get the 1yo to go back to sleep. Was in to the toddler earlier, who'd been sick through coughing. A normal night here.

DD has just gone back to sleep.
In my bed.
Lying horizontally.

Morning me too!

I'm on the other side of the world, nearly 10pm, 22mo DD still fucking pratting around. DS (nearly 5) has only gone down because I put him in our bed.

And yes DD will definitely get me up several times in the night. If she does her miraculous sleep-through-once-every-three-months thing, DS will break his usually impeccable sleep for that night only

Fucking kids

I feel your pain but... We had 1 night of decent sleep this week and I felt fucking shocking in the morning!

that's so true it's like the rare occasion that both of mine sleep till 7 I always wake with a splitting headache

YADNBU. Ours were the same until about a month ago. The first two nights that they both started to sleep through, DH got up in the night for a wee, bastard

Im so glad its not just me. I had a full nights sleep on Friday cos the OH got up with the boys andon Friday morning i felt shockin. it wasnt worth it.

5 and 2 here and it's no better I'm back at work today and had tge worst night of all the holidays

I feel your pain. The two year old had a good sleep (didn't wake up until 4am) but the dog woke me up three times instead.

I have 5, 3 and 10 months. They have daily meetings to ensure I don't get too much.. Last three nights have been awful and dh away now till late Wednesday

I'm so tired I hurt

2 year old and 1 month old here. Oh god this is going to go on for years isn't it? Toddler actually woke more times than the baby last night.

I find myself fantasising about a single bed in a hotel room, white sheets, no tv, no noise, no interruptions

I haven't had a good night's sleep for over 4 years. It sucks. But I hear it gets better

Snap!
Ds is mostly ok, but dd can have me up 3x a night, she's 2.5yo FFS!

Mine are 6 & 4 and we probably get 3 unbroken nights per week. So that's progress to some extent right....?

Last night dd2 woke up screaming like a banshee, we, assuming there was a burglar or a fire happening, dashed to her side. The actual reason? Itchy bottom.

And then one day like a switch going on you can't get them out of bed .
No answers just to say you will survive I did - just.

7 years ago was the last time I had full night ...

Feel your pain, grim night here again, just 4 year old keeps coming through with increasingly BULLSHIT excuses and 3 month old going through some hideous sleep regression and up seemingly hourly. I look like worzel gummidge.
Apparently it'll get better!

Yanbu. It's almost 5yr old DD who causes most the problems in this house. She starts school this week and I have all my hopes, and sanity, pinned on her starting to sleep better. Even 6yo DS has the odd wander at night. They were actually great sleepers as babies / toddlers, it's the pre-school years that have been grim.
