Everyone go and vote on her poll that you'd prefer a house call! She'll be ripping that she might have to be parted from the couch..

Me too
Me too. I became a single mam not by choice, the dad has no interest and doesn’t see my son or pay anything towards his up keep. I’m in my late thirty’s and still at home with my parents. I work a couple of hours a week in a chipper. When my son goes to bed I head of to work. I work only for 3 hours a night 5 nights a week. I’m lucky my parents will keep a eye on the monitor and if he woke they would settle him back but that is about it. I do everything else for my son and bring him on outings which I love but can be hard doing it by yourself but I do it . I know it’s embarrassing to be living at home at this age still,but my son is happy and has a roof over his head. But if I was to sit on my ass all day like she does I would get a kick up the hole
Also while I'm at it does she think people are going to pay her for a phone call to help them wean a child off their dummy?? 
absolute notions.. and anyway by the time she'd finishing umming and ahhing her way through a phone call the child will be at school and the problem solved!

Like people pay strangers to tell them how to put their child asleep?! Or a phone call to get someone to tell you how to get a soother of your child!! Or how to cut nap times!! why would you need someone to tell you this about your child?! And if your struggling I’m sure other mammys , PHN / GP would have some suggestions which would be free!!
That's exactly the reason I voted please come to my house Lisa
I'd say her own mother wishes there was a coach that would help her get her adult child off of the bleedin couch 
There are loads of options available before paying a complete stranger to give you 'advice' on what to do with your child. The whole sleep coach thing is ridiculous.
I’m gonna blow my own trumpet
but all my kids have slept through from 6-8 weeks, would I fluff pay that potato to tell me how to put them to sleep 
She’s doing the exact same as lullaby lady she has an option to have a one off call with her to discuss a specific sleep issue 
1 hour call for €150!! No plan, no follow up support!! The mind boggles
1 hour call for €150!! No plan, no follow up support!! The mind boggles Nobody who can afford €150 for an hrs phone call about soothers is employing this scruff ball that's for sure.
Have the power hose ready to wash her down before she sets foot inside the doorThat's exactly the reason I voted please come to my house Lisa
Online and phone call option = taking advantage of vulnerable parents and charging them a fortune for the privilege of pretend working sitting on your couch. I pity any sleep deprived desperate parents that hand over their hard earned money.
Its a mad world that we live in
It's total exploitation of exhausted parents. Some kids just go through phases of bad sleep, and when it's happening to mine I am so tired I'm not thinking straight. it's a lot easier to get me to hand over cash to anyone promising a miracle. There's also no regulation of qualifications, no national registration of sleep trainers and nobody to complain to or maintain standards.
I also think that the courses to train sleep coaches are a bit of a scam, taking advantage of people who want to be self employed and wfh. Sounds like the course Lisa is doing would take anyone on who had an internet connection and the money for the fees. Think it cost something like $6,000, she'd need to do a lot of those $150 phone calls to make that back after tax, advertising, expenses, etc. The sums just don't add up.
Aren’t you lucky! I only have the wan Juno but he’s have your heart broke. 3yrs of age and he still acts up some nights going down and calls me in most nights too. Is it ideal? No? Would I have liked to throw money at the issue for a good night’s sleep for all of us? duck yeah. Do I feel like a tit parent some days listening to ppl like you? Yes!!!!!!!I’m gonna blow my own trumpet
But you know what… I have a happy, healthy boy who wants his mama when he’s scared some nights .. so be it. I won’t still be going into him when he’s 20 (I hope!!). He’s only 3. He’s only a toddler and it’s my privilege to be his go to person when he’s upset. But I’ll tell you one thing… I feckin hate smug parents.
Maybe you can give me a tip? Or would it mean getting up off the couch “Lisa”… I mean anonymous tattler.
Every child is different.
My near 2yo needs the help. They call me in and tbh I've really learned to love it. Those sleepy cuddles are so precious. The gibberish they spew at me about teddies and sleeps is extremely cute.
I've another child who is an unnaturally good sleeper. Sleeping 15 hours each night and a 2.5 hour nap in the day.
No idea why the two are different. The sleeper is more restrictive to me, harder to break the routine if we have something on.
Anyway... its not in smugness I'm telling you. I don't think children can be gently sleep trained. They all have different needs.
You shouldn't feel crap listening about other kids routines because you're doing what your 3yo needs
Thanks.. no I agree with you.. I’m happy enough with our little disrupted sleep cycle at this stage.. if exhaustedEvery child is different.

It’s nice to be needed and I agree.. I love the little chats in the evening at bedtime Before I know it, I’ll have a teenager on my hands so I’m not really complaining (just a little!!)But in the first year, my head was wrecked with the 7-7 brigade. Ppl who claimed their kids had 12 hours every night and two naps and the same ppl looking at wrecked as me but assumed I believed them. Every child teeths and gets sick in those early yrs. We all have ups and downs with them.
Its mainly Lisa that drives me bananas but sometimes I think 90% of the people posting on tattle are funny and sound. But some seem to do everything right whether it’s kids, clean houses or work wise
Sorry.. I was cranky having been in and out to said 3 yr old
I mean I love him but I’d nearly hire Lisa 
Lisa’s phone call or online sessions will be like that episode of friends where Phoebe tries to sell toner and is told to stick to the script - all the answers are in the answer book. She’d panic then if you asked her a question not in the script! What do you mean your baby isn’t sleeping?! Oh I dunno so. What works for too mite not work for wan.
The whole concept is bananas and very unfair on children who are the ones who will ultimately suffer from Lisa's stupid advice. How can anyone know, bar medical problems, why your child isn't sleeping? I've 4 all different sleepers and I genuinely think it's down to temperament and genes.
Also just to add Google will tell you a lot of stuff. No need to pay anyone for it. There are endless psychology websites and even insta ones who all offer advice for free.
