Sounds a bit dramatic, but myself and husband are exhausted
DD 18months old, is in a toddler bed, has been for 4months, as she able to climb out of her cot.
She wasnt a brillant sleeper, when she was a baby, and got out of night feeds about 6 months ago, though still occassionaly wakes through night.
Putting her to bed though was never a problem, we would put her to bed, and she would sleep no problems.
However Friday night she refused to go to bed, we had almost 4 hours of her screaming, which we tried to console, as we have other DC who were waiting to go to bed,
Other DC stayed at my mums Saturday, so we decided to keep putting her to bed, no talking, just return her to bed. She gave in after 28 times of being returned to her bed.
Thought, it would get better from day 1, however,Sunday and Monday, we were there almost an hour, yesterday, we counted between us she got out of bed over 130times. Its now 8.23pm, and we have been taking it in turns since 7pm.
Have done the bath time, milk, then story before bed,
Still seems to be getting worse
Husbands just come down stairs, so she must be sleeping now
Advice please anyone, we are all exhausted, and really finding it hard not to speak to her, and not telling her off, which i know will not help
