My boy is nearly 2.5 years old
I feel like an awful mother because everytime the day is nearing to 7pm, I actually get the dread of having to put him to bed.
He resists it.. hysterics.. could have to lie with him for up to 1.5 hours.. I just want to sit in silence at the end of it
Please tell me I'm not alone.. when does bedtime get easier.. is it his age?
To throw fire into the mix I also have a newborn and husband has been in the office at a work thing this evening.. I've lost the will trying to do bedtime and the newborn is very unsettled now
Am I the only one??

OP, could it be time to drop the nap if you have a 2.5 year old resisting bedtime? Or maybe you’ve already done that and actually he’s so tired he can’t regulate his emotions?

This is parenting in a nutshell. Are they tired enough...or too tired? 😂
