My Ds has always settled well, gone down about 7.30, chatted to sleep by himself. Last week was playing up a bit but wnet off in the end (no tears just moaning, calling me, intermittent with singing). Friday got upset, said he didn't like fireworks, got himself all upset. I took pity on him and let hime come downstairs as he was in a real state.
You can imagine the rest, major temper tantrum last 2 nights come bedtime. i don't want to leave him to scream so have tried sitting on his floor, ignoring him but offering verbal comfort. No help at all, screamng blue murder.
Tonight this ends with me in tears, Dh and I arguing, apparantly its all my fault as i'm too soft, have pandered to him since he was a baby, etc etc. I don't think shouting at him is going to help at all, will just confirm to him that bedtime is a bad time. I was/am trying the ignoring but being there type of thing.
So DS alseep now, Dh sulking in the bath, and i'm sitting crying! (am a bit PMT though in my defence!)
Need an action plan for tomorrow night at bedtime. Any ideas? He is still in a cot, thinking of getting him a bed soon but he doesn't do change very well so most likely it will not help this situation.
To top it all off i am away with work wed night for the first time (not left him overnight yet). Was not looking forward to it, but now i feel terrible.
