First of all I have been ill over the last few months, and it seems to have been one thing after another.But now to top things off my dd and ds are both not sleeping well at all.
My dd has just turned 6 and she is getting worse instead of better.At bedtime she insists either me or her dad stay upstairs with her until she is asleep.Now my ds is 2 and he also likes me to stay so I have been.
But then when they wake up they want to either come into our bed or me to go into their room.Now I was going to just leave my ds to cry and hopefully that would get him into some routine.
Only problem with that is my dd is worse than him, last night she woke up at 3 and cried and cried for someone to sleep in her bed.
I told her no and she got histerical, I do feel sorry for her if she is scared but I have tried everything and I am running out of ideas.
She has a dream catcher and we sing them lullabyes before bed, read stories and she even has nearly all the upstairs lights on.
I lost my temper last night and ended up shouting which is what i never wanted to do but I am so tired.I no this is my fault for not getting them into a routine earlier but then dd did used to go to bed on her own so I don't no what else to do.
I feel guilty but also I am getting angry with the situation too, please someone help, any advice as I am out of ideas.
