anyone going to watch bedtime live with me??!!

[girliefriend]

Just seen its on in 15mins, just time to get the and [biscuits] sorted. Anyone care to join me?

Exactly the same airwalk I used to be allowed the TV on for 10 minutes when I went to bed. If I'd hear my mum come upstairs, I'd quickly turn it off and pretend to be asleep One day she caught me and cut the plug off my TV [shocked] I didn't do it again!

God this is dull, and obvious.

I am quite anti tech anyway so don't think it will be too much a problem anyway, although dd is only 7yo so maybe that will change. She def will not have a telly or computer games in her bedroom though.

Omg twins look hard work!!

Is it draining?

That Jake is such a knob.

I haven't got a clue what time DS1(18) goes to sleep. He gets up with his alarm and he isn't late for school. He's an adult so I have no control over it now, if DS2 had the TV, iPad or PS3 on I'd turn it off or turn the WiFi off.

Nearly every Monday I see that DNeph(15) has been on Fb in the early hours. I doubt my sister knows at the time, or cares enough to do anything about it!

Hasn't Supernanny covered this in minute detail on a bajillion occasions?

Which techniques that they have featured do you think should be age restricted, out of interest?

It looks like it's harder with the twins as one down other up on repeat!

How seedy did that sound lol

Blimey 5 weeks of this.

I think I would try and separate the twins so maybe one could go to sleep in their parents bed and then they transfer to his own bed once he is asleep. Having them both in the same room winding each other up is hard work.

I could never let a baby CIO. But once they are old enough to understand what is happening I won't have the piss taken out of me. Dd5 knows if there's any rubbish after she's gone up there will be no story/tv/insert relevant thing tommorow.

How do they know which technique to use?

Mummybare - I just don't believe that newborns and/or babies should be 'sleep trained', that was my point. It is natural and normal for babies to wake in the night. The method they are using for the 13 month old does appear to be a nice method for her age. Did I use this method when my dd wasn't sleeping from 4 - 12 months? No, I wouldn't.

Don't all of these just demonstrate how the parents have let it get too far. It's not rocket science.

I don't think they are advocating cio, advice sounds normal and sensible.

Those twins will keep me awake tonight!

I agree girliefriend, I thought they were going to advocate it tbh, so I'm pleasantly suprised

My children have all left home(sob-they are in their 20's btw) But toldcat keeps me awake by chewing & jumping on me (no use shutting the bedroom door, as she meows & scratches constantly) Also, our house is such that the toldcat cannot be prevented from coming upstairs. Any suggestions?
Sorry if this seems trite!

I was born in the 70s. No facebook etc, but I used to lie awake till early hours listening to Radio Luxembourg on my personal stereo and daydreaming...

I would definitley separate the little twins if it was possible. They're a tag team geeing each other up.

I didn't think they would do CIO, but it might be good for them to do CC as lots of people confuse the two.

Toldmywrath, try rapid return or controlled meowing.

Jake is irritating!
