go to flipping sleep!

[themagicroundabout]

ive been really poorly since last week.

dh is out so its pj and my telly time !

Ordered takeaway.

take small child upstairs. WHY WON'T SHE GO TO SLEEP! ! She's pratting about and its becoming clear she did not nap at thr time DH said she did. Arse.

She's not going to sleep so I can eat in peace and relax is she ?

sob.

She can sense your stress

Poor you. I'm not even ill, but DS2's (to be fair, reasonably rare) "Non-Sleeping Spawn of Satan" impression is wearing a little thin!

Mainly because I just made a major novice error.

Went in, calmed him down and did the whole "mummy will come back in a minute" thing. He calmed down, I thought I better keep my promise and accordingly trooped back in, just as he was on the verge of dropping off to sleep.

Non-Sleeping Spawn of Satan is now back in the building.

That's the last time I keep my promise to a small child...

DD is 13 days old. Since she was born DS has decided he doesn't need to go to sleep when put to bed. This is causing more stress in our marriage than any of the newborn problems.

He's a totally knackered toddler and he's being a grumpy arse through the day too due to lack of sleep.

Oh poor all of you. I shouldn't be flippant - it's no fun when they really, really won't sleep.

Get your own back when they are teens. I have.

In the mean time there is

god dammit Youthecat - I've just begun watching that before realising what a bad idea it was..

im now eating takeaway trying not to panic that dd is sat next to me shouting 'fuck sleep! '

She's 2.5. How on earth do I make her stop before he comes home?

Oh bugger! Sorry Magic.

Sorry magic, but I'm laughing now

lol my fault. .I should b have known from the title.

Yes. She's still awake.

no 'fuck sleep' for 15 minutes now ..
