My two year old is still awake, largely because he fell asleep in the car for two hours between 5 and 7 this evening. I'm 7 months pregnant and have driven for six hours today, and I literally cannot stay upright any longer, so I have popped DS in bed with me and peppa pig on the iPad and intend to semi-doze until he falls asleep. The bedroom is childproof and the door is locked, but I feel like this is a kind of parenting nadir 
.
This week has been pretty dire- DS has had chicken pox, I've had exams, FIL had to come to stay unexpectedly for six days (in a very small flat) and DH has been working nights with loads of overtime, so basically everything - routine/ controls on screen time/ eating anything vaguely healthy has gone out the window. I'm trying to tell myself that DS is happy (ecstatically so, having been given the iPad 
), clean, fed (ish) and safe and things can get back on track tomorrow, but my pre-parenting list of 'things I will never do' has basically been wiped out all in one week... Everyone has times like this, right?
