My mother thinks I am.
Perhaps it is one of those strange false-memory things but I'm pretty sure I wasn't allowed to do that at her age anyway!
My toddler is a horrifically bad sleeper. He is usually up for an hour or so twice a night and is even more unsettled since Daddy and DD have been about all day every day.
I've told my parents that he has taken to galloping up the stairs and pulling dd out of bed so that she can play with him at all hours, or vaulting over her as she sleeps in order to hide from the adult trying to put him in his cot.
DH and I have been fair, we think, and she has had quite a few late nights in order to finish watching the Christmas films, but today she looked fecking terrible, really pale and washed out which to me indicates the need for a few early nights.
Am I a mean old meany? If DS wasn't the way he is then I might suffer the hardship of letting her watch back-to-back Johnny Depp Pirate films until it was time to let the New Year in and the Old Year out but under these circumstances?
