I totally blame myself and my attitude towards her in the past, I have in the past been alot more relaxed, but now I have had enough. She is nearly 7 and is more than capable of sleeping on her own. I suppose from her point of view she maybe a little confused and is testing me out.
These 7 weeks have been the toughest ever, roll on Tuesday, when hopefully she will just collapse in a heap at the end of the day after being at school and going to tap dancing - if that doesn't knock her out, then what will.
I work 2 evenings a week, so it does get me out of bedtime on those 2 nights, but I'm hardly relaxing and sometimes they are still up when I get home, because they have wanted to wait for me and dh has let them.
I joined the gym last week, so at precisely 9.30am on Tuesday morning after leave them at school I will be in the jacuzzi - bliss, and I will savour every minute of it
