Hi so Im just looking for some advice on sleep.
I have a little girl aged 5,and a little boy aged 3 and a half. They have never wanted to sleep in their own room, I've tried so many times but just given in because I got so tired. Last September I put them into a. Bedroom together so they wouldn't feel scared or upset or alone, it took a while but my daughter finally started sleeping in her own room, but my son won't have it at all. No matter how many times I would get up to put him back into bed he would scream and j would give in out of exhaustion.
Last week due to a space issue I moved the children's beds back into me and my husbands bedroom because I was so tired and I wasn't sleeping, and I realise now this was a big mistake. My daughter will be 6 in September and I really feel like she needs her own bedroom. Now the spacr issue is sorted I want to put them both into the bigger second bedroom and make them a really nice room but my husband is saying their is no point because they won't sleep in their room.
We are buying a house this year hopefully so my husband says just leave them in our room till then, but I just feel they are both old enough now.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get them to sleep in their own room? I'm getting desperate.
I feel like I need to take my bedroom back as my own space now because their is toys literally everywhere in the house even our room and I feel it's important for us to have a space just for ourselves too.
Any tips or advicr would be appreciated
Also, do you think Im selfish trying to put them into their own room? That's the only reason I brought them back in with me 1 because I was tired and 2 I felt guilty that I was forcing them when they wasn't ready and I felt I was. Being selfish or making them scared.
