To cut a long story short I've been with DP 5 years we met when ds was 4. He has no children and really he's had to learn or I've had to argue with him about how different children are there is no one fits all. Anyway ds has been an on/off poor sleeper, I was the same as a child over active imagination would get up during the night and sleep on the landing because I was petrified of my room 🤦🏽♀️...
Ds wakes during the night and shouts me really loud until I go to his room and either tuck him in or if he's had a really bad nightmare I sleep with him. All had settled and no waking for around a year however it's started again recently (ds is 8).
DP asks me why he's doing it I said I don't know apart from it's difficult at the minute with lockdown he's likely anxious etc and kids don't show it like we do plus he's having far to much screen time. He then told me "well I was telling xxx (his mate) about it and he couldn't believe he still wakes up"
I feel really annoyed about this! One it's as if he's having conversations with people I don't know and judging my parenting. Two he's doing nothing to help the situation and piling it all on me and three he's having little compassion or idea of how different kids are and what might actually be going on is ds head to wake him ups
Im not looking for anyone to tell me my child should t be waking up at this age I already know that I just feel hurt by the conversation and I've stormed off to bed In a mood but now wondering if aibu
