WHAT is a proper nights sleep?

[marie1979]

my boy is 6 and has ezcema so the last god knows how long ive slept in the bed with him constantly saying im itchy and i have to scratch him or he rips his body till they are pouring with blood its awful! so i go to bed at 9 after housework washing ironing bathtime teatime and thats on a good dayi wake up at 6 in the mornin to get 3 children ready for school come back have a cup of tea and start all over again go to the school to give medicine and apply creams i could go on forever but ill stop im boring myslef! just wanted to say IM KNACKERED!

Poor you!! I just posted a thread saying I can't get my 18 month old son to sleep. I'm totally knackered too (and I only have one!) and I just want to cry but it sounds like you are having so much more on your plate you poor thing. My sister grew up always having eczema and she used to scratch her body up until it bled. It's awful. I know there's nothing I can say to help but just know that you are not alone in the fight for a good nights sleep. Good luck.

ah thankyou for your kind words, its really terrible however many children you have i feel for you to, did your sister grow out of her eczema? just going to read your thread

She did for a considerable amount of years but it does tend to come back sometimes and then go again. Much more manageable now though. It's really tough as of course you suffer for your child. I hope he groes out of it too.
