DD used to be a brill sleeper but the last month or so has changed beyond control..
She goes down at 7pm and usually goes well although sometimes puts up a fight.
I I have managed to get her over the last few weeks to sleep through although waking tends to be quite early (between 5-6am).I can cope with the early waking if the routine is as above BUT its the weekends when things change.
Dh works away during the week and I am finding that its when he is back that things go chaotic..
With dh waking several times in the night, wanting to get into bed with us etc.
dh is now starting to feel as though he has this negative effect and its affecting our relationship.
Tonight dd has not gone down to well, wanting her bedroom light on. She has a bedside light and now wants her door open...
WTF do I do..?????????????
Do I allow her to sleep with her "big" light onj and door open..? imo its not good as it means she can hear converstions/tv etc.
She doesn't have a valid reason why she changed. Just says she doesn't want to sleep. Wants room redecorating, new stuff etc
I tend to be firm during the week, not alowing her to control me BUT once dh is home I guess I allow him chance to deal with the dk's iykiwm.
My other concern is the fact that on short journeys she is falling aslep in the car now, something she stopped over 6 months ago..obviously due to being tired. She is also ratty,and such a handfull. Im also having "toilet" issues which is another thread BUT atm its all getting to much...
