So the Easter Bunny came and took all my 5 year old's dummies on Saturday night and left chocolate in return. Unfortunately it hasn't been plane sailing as I had hoped. Bedtime has went from a pretty smooth affair, to a a huge battle, even getting her into bed is now a struggle. She's been waking 4 or 5 times a night since, DH and I are taking turns to settle her in her own bed with cuddles, and sitting with her until she falls asleep, or bringing her into our bed if nothing else works. She has been far more emotional in the day too with her behaviour going down hill, thanks to the broken sleep. DH is a key worker, he needs to get up for work in the mornings, so he can't continue with this broken sleep.
I can't really see this getting better for a while, and since I still have the dummies in a bag under the sink, should I just give them back to her? She still asks for a dummy, and says that she misses them. While I don't want this all to be for nothing, it really can't stay the same. So AIBU to want to give the dummies back?
