really need some help. DD is just past 2, still bfeeding in the evening before bed, I have no issue with this.
What is causing the issue is that we go upstairs at 7.30ish to the shouts of 'I'm not tired, stay downstairs', we sit on sofa in her room and she has a cuddle and a feed for approx 30-45 mins and then hysterics. insisting I lie down and hold her hand, has to be lying down can't be sitting up. on and on and fucking on.
if I do it for 5 mins and then say OK night night mummy's going downstairs, SO MUCH SCREAMING. I will leave for 10 mins, then go in to reassure, but it makes no difference - lie down mummy, hold my hand. again and again. I'm. often not sitting down to even eat my fucking tea until 9.30.
Just lost it and threw her book across the room, DH took over and ended up sitting on the sofa reading the story. 15 mins later, I need mummy to hold me hand, wipe my nose on and on and on.
I'm totally done with this. I've been telling myself it is a phase but it's been going on so fucking long. it's stopping us staying away anywhere else, eg.at my mum's or a friends. I've got a week off work now and I just don't fucking care about it, it's not a break, it's just dealing with a 2hr shit bedtime every fucking night
