Hi everyone 
I have a very active 3yo she’s never been one for sleeping much but once in bed has always slept through for past 18m . The trouble is lately she won’t go to bed as soon as I put her to bed she starts saying she can’t sleep and keeps making excuses not to try ...I need a wee, I’m too hot...I need a drink...I’ve tried reasoning with her, settling her down reading a story, playing for 5 mins but as soon as I leave the room she starts screaming and having a tantrum 😭😭. Then if she does eventually go off (which usually involves me in her room for over an hr) she’ll also wake in the middle of the night doing the same thing 😭😭She just wants me to sit and hug her to sleep, over the past few weeks I’ve ended up falling asleep on her bedroom floor or letting her in my bed from time to time just so we can all get some rest (I have another little girl who’s at school and am due another in 2 weeks) but my OH is saying I’m being to soft on her and “making a rod for my back” so he’s been getting up...but the thing is she Is so strong willed she’s has massive screaming fits when he goes in and this can go
On for well over an hr and it really upsets me 😭 But it’s having a massive knock on effect on us all, hubby shattered for work, I’m getting no time to do anything of an evening and next week they’re back at school and nursery and because they’re not getting sleep at night they’re struggling to get up in the morning ....and a new baby is soon to come into the mix! Please please any ideas would be so much appreciated xx
