Hi, I'm Overly-Reliant-on-Peppa-Pig, and I'm a survivor barely

Pete, my DS broke last night, he let his guard down...he slept 8.15-7am. Can I get a hallelujah?!? The rain broke yesterday so I literally ran him around a national trust property. Either that or it was the salmon for tea, the bedtime story, or maybe the way I dried his hair after bath time or the way the wind was blowing or or or

You will have your day in the sun or actually, your night in the dark Wink Your son will sleep one night by accident, he will, oh yes. Have faith, til then, have coffee!

Thank you .... Right now I'm in floods of tears, I'm all shouty & DS doesn't deserve it, it's not his fault he can't sleep

My dad has come over to take him out & to play in the garden.

I am just praying that tonight we have success, I can hope. There is hope isn't there?? Please tell me ....

Oh, my lovely DS is broken. He used to practically jump in to bed, and wake up happily chatting to himself in the morning.

I'm currently listening to him screaming to get out of bed. This is about the second week in. Unfortunately, he has also been waking in the night screaming to get out of bed then too. After over an hour trying to persevere, the only thing that stops him waking the neighbourhood is bringing him in to our bed, which is not ideal as its not a habit I want him to get used to. Rh and I never get a decent sleep with him flinging himself around!

At least it's comforting to know we're not alone. IfAtFirst, my DS is also experiencing some kind of malfunction, he used to be rubbing his eyes and whimpering 'bed' at 10am most days, having only risen at 7.45. He used to have epic 3 hour naps too and still be tucked in and snoring by 7pm.
I miss those days. They were only a couple of months ago, what THE FUCK HAS HAPPENED HERE?

Ifatfirst, your post really struck a chord with me. I was dead against co sleeping before I had a baby (oh how naive I was, ha ha ha!) but you are so right, after an hour or more, we just can't carry on. It's traumatic for DS, DH and I so we give up and all go to our bed. It's pretty obvious that after an hour of greeting and negotiating and whining and shrieking that he isn't going to roll over in his cot and go back to sleep.

Honestly, when he lies him down between us he waits about 30 seconds then let's out the loudest, longest, relieved sigh. As if to say "well thank goodness that is over!"

But I too hate the idea of bad habits.
