and with myself.
DS is currently SCREAMING upstairs (not just crying, temper scream). He is tired. He doesn't like his cot in DD's room.
He was up half the night, I am tired, I am not handling him being irritable and tired downstairs, so for the time I have put him upstairs going with the theory that there he is at least safe.
His sleep pattern has gone a complete mess - he started wanting a "nap" at 5.30pm for an hour, and the last two nights has extended it for 5 hours . I wasn't in last night, so couldn't wake him earlier, so he was then up half the night.
He is my placid smiley little man, but he just doesn't get this whole sleep business... DD was a very hard baby, but she did suss the night sleeping business fairly fast (even if she didn't sleep in the day... ever).
Feeling pretty incompetent because every day I wake up and think "Yes, I can do this, I've got this mother thing sussed", and then it invariably falls to pieces and I just end up tearful and feeling useless.
This should probably be in behaviour, parenting, depressed or somewhere, but I am now aiming at a "can't cope" thread in every section
ARGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I know that loads of you have it sooo much worse, which makes me feel even more useless.
There are those of you who haven't slept in years, Hunker who is having similar sleep to me, but works on top of it, all of you SN mums who have more in your lives than I could ever imagine. So why can't I cope with one crying child???
