FoD maybe your in-laws should cancel their visit. You don't want to make them ill afterall. At the very least they should stay somewhere else. They won't get any sleep if he's coughing all night......
I'm shattered. I think A woke about 3 times last night, but I was too tired to check the time. And I accidentally snoozed rather than cancelled my alarm, just swiping at the phone rather than looking!
DD has been really good the last 2 days, taking on board how she needs to be good. By 6am today I had toshut her back in her room. She woke A up with her screaming that she wanted to sleep with him; threw the tv remotes so hard the batteries flew out; threw the playmat and baby nest across the room; pulled A's arm really hard to get him off my lap when I was trying to give him a feed before I left and hit me when I tried to stop her.
Fingers crossed she'd calmed down when I left, but today is d-day for MIL continuing childcare!
I've gone for carrot & stick: if she's naughty the seat willcome off the swing frame until she behaves. If she's good she gets a yellow alice band to match her favourite dress.
And I'll leave work early because I've yet to see my boss and be given anything to do, and to be honest nobody would notice if I didn't turn up at all!
