So. Bedtimes. Ours has been getting progressively worse. Holiday was a brief respite as we all went to bed together at 11pm and DC were too exhausted to object. I know it's first day back home so some out of kilter-ness is to be expected, but DD has gone to bed quickly and without fuss whereas S has been screaming, SCREAMING, for 45 mins, can't be soothed and ultimately worked himself into such a rage that he's needed to be rocked into calming down and is screaming again the second this stops. This is becoming a v regular bedtime requirement. He's far too bloody heavy to be rocked like a newborn. I don't remember DD being such a pain at this age but then I didn't do her bedtime for a long while because S was tiny and cluster feeding like no tomorrow. I'm getting to the stage of wanting to make his room safe and just Stairgate him into it but not sure I could manage a whole evening of screaming rage.
Oh, and since we have been at home all I can smell is stinky drains. Deep joy considering what that could be / cost to remedy.
Grump, grump, grump.
