I’m really exhausted and worried I am treating ds badly. He’s started being very difficult at bedtime and so I do the usually hug and sing a song but then put him down and he will resist. I’ve started just leaving the room. Around 3-5 mins later he has gone to sleep after some mild crying and frustration.
In the mornings I try to get up before him so I can sort things for the day and sometimes he will wake and I can hear him on the monitor but I will be carrying washing from the dryer or mid way through cleaning his bottle etc and so I don’t go up for 5 mins and he will be crying on and off, again mildly but still obviously wanting me. Should I be going to him immediately? What’s ok and what’s not? I feel tired and worried I am being a shit mum.
