My children are just awful at sleep. And this is a major reason why there will not be a third, I think even more years of sleep deprivation would finish me off!I'm not sure really.
I mean, it should do because you'd just have to stay with her when she gets up to start with but she should eventually just stop getting up, see the clock is blue and hopefully go back to sleep herself.
Maybe?

My 2 good sleepers tricked me into a 3rd
And Everleigh is making up for both of them I think
So maybe if you had a 3rd, they'd sleep really well
I have absolutely decided we are one and done, because I have just found motherhood too difficult to consider another 
I would love for mini P to have a sibling, but my mental health is shot to pieces, and I find the lack of sleep too much to deal with.
It's been 3/4 weeks now of bedtime trouble. Putting her back in the cot hasn't really improved things much, she just seems to have awful separation anxiety at the moment, she screams the house down the minute you leave her room and she's waking in the night. We end up sleeping in with her, which I know isn't helping but we are too tired to do anything else.
We have a king sized bed being delivered at the weekend, as if all else fails, I will admit defeat and co-sleep

Mini A is like a different child after sleeping 7:40pm to 8:15am amazing what having a lot of sleep can do! She did amazing at swimming this morning, we’ve been Christmas shopping for some new things for the tree/house and she loved it, then we went to our new fun with phonics toddler group and she did so well. I can’t believe she’s like a new child
We’ve also had no accidents all day!

This is exactly why I only have 1 hahaha. He won’t sleep on His own and I really can’t be doing being up alllll night. So he’s in our bed. My fella often goes downstairs and sleeps on the sofa poor buggerI have absolutely decided we are one and done, because I have just found motherhood too difficult to consider another

. I can’t leave him crying it breaks my heart and he gets really upset. That method is not for me. I don’t mind him being in my bed but sometimes it would be nice just to be me and my bf. We’re doing his room up and making it extra nice I’m hoping he’ll like it that much he’ll sleep in there for sure hahahaChange the cot into a bed , I changed mine around 2 when he started kicking off at the cot. Loved his big boy bed. Couldn't get him out the thing, think it was the bars of the cot that he hated.I have absolutely decided we are one and done, because I have just found motherhood too difficult to consider another

I am one and done! I know we’ve touched about this before on a previous thread and as much as I love my daughter there is NO way on this earth I’m ever having another child. My dating profile clearly states I don’t want anymore kids tooI have absolutely decided we are one and done, because I have just found motherhood too difficult to consider another

Morning you wise wonderful parents! MiniGlenCoco has been quite warm to the touch over the last few days, but whenever we check her temperature it is always normal, between 36.6 - 37.0
Yesterday she was a bit quiet and subdued in the morning but school said she was fine until lunchtime and then went a bit downhill but we found she perked up when we picked her up.
She woke in the night a few times (not unusual) and again she was warm to touch but no temperature. She's woken this morning and seems completely fine, chatty and playful, but is still warm to touch.
Should I be concerned?

I wouldn't say so. If she's alright in herself now.
How are you taking her temperature?
I’d keep an eye on her and give her some calpol. i find that mini melon goes funny mood wise before he’s coming down with something
mini A too!!
I used an ear thermometer and then one of those ones under the armpit coz I read your post the other day
school have just rung for me to go and pick her up 
hope mini coco is ok @GlennCoco !
my little boy is off nursery with impetigo 🥲 he is ok in himself bit of a cold but his poor face is all red and spotty and crusty

Thanks @watermelon sugar she is having snuggles on the sofa with me now so hopefully she will start feeling better soon 
sorry to hear about your little boy, hope he is okay! My sister had impetigo on her face when she was little and I remember it being all crusty and me just wanting to pick it

My daughter is poorly too. She had a fever last night and has a bad cough. She went to a party last week and 4 of the adults tested positive for covid yesterday. It’s my birthday on Saturday so hoping it’s not that! Also hoping I don’t catch it as she spent all night coughing in my face 
So 3yo has hit somebody with some wooden train track at nursery today and generally been ignoring what the staff are asking her to do, I knew she'd been a horror at home this week but I'm really upset by this, she's never hurt another child and she's normally excellent at sharing.
I know it's pretty normal developmentally but ugh, this sucks.
She must be going through something, her behaviour has been off the charts horrible this week.

My 6 yo really suffers with impetigo. The next bout he gets of it he has to see a dermatologist
We are also an ill house. I’ve had the 3yo off all week, 13yo off yesterday, and the 6yo off today and probably tomorrow. These cold have really wiped them out
Ahh a thread to take refuge in whilst hiding from the tiny demon in my house! Why do they wake up and choose violence, why?? I’ll lovingly create snacks, set up playtime, be as attentive and gentle as I can possibly be and get rewarded with headbutts, flying kicks to the throat and inconsolable sobbing because we asked for the banana to be opened and then cried because it’s open 
I thought I’d ace being a stay at home mum, all healthy lunches and playgroups and going to visit the duckies at the pond, I had no clue that “threenager” is code for “violent psychopathic abuser you aren’t legally allowed to walk away from” but then, if you knew back then just how soul destroying some of these days could be, would you have signed up? I knew that tantrums and upsets would be involved but I had no idea the level of violence and enjoyment at being violent towards me would be involved in raising a small human at this point, I feel like this is the new PPI claim, I was missold!

I've happily admitted several times that if I knew exactly how hard parenting was before having kids, I probably wouldn't have had any.Ahh a thread to take refuge in whilst hiding from the tiny demon in my house!

People tell you it's the hardest job but you really don't realise how hard it is until you're in it
I don’t think I’ve seen anything so accurate written about a threenager in my life
However, give me a toddler than a teenager. This is a different kind of hell
