My toddler too, though the last 2 nights he hasn’t ’split’ the night soAnd Lily must be 8? Surely she doesn’t go to bed then as well.. lol it shouldn’t be that hard by that stage surely.. I mean those kids would literally be dead on their feet if they were going to sleep at say 8:30 and waking at 4:30, surely? But then people need different amounts of sleep so who know.. my toddler is currently doing “split nights” and is awake for hours during the night most nights and it is HELL.. so clearly my toddler doesn’t need much sleep either 🫠 I couldn’t get up at 4:30am for the day though.. literal hell.

*That hard as in just put them to bed two hours later for a few nights and they should adapt.. they’re bigger kids now not babies/toddlers.
Yes! We’ve got 3 kids and so they’ve all had their spells of early waking. My middle one bad a spell of asking for breakfast at 4AM (he wasn’t hungry, I’m not cruel, he just thought I was morning!) and we would lay in bed til 6. Often he went back to sleep, and if he didn’t, I would be like oh it’s morning now and so we can get up. I take my hat off to anyone that can be alive before thenMy toddler too, though the last 2 nights he hasn’t ’split’ the night soit’s over for at least a while. But when he does wake in the middle of the night I spend those hours convincing him it’s still bed time, I don’t just give up and get up for the day. I have a 6.30am rule at the absolute earliest.
Absolutely this.I get that if you have 4 (hell, if you have one!) there comes a point in the day when you just want them in bed asleep. But getting up at 4.30am? Fuck that shit, that would make me lose my mind.
I have 5 and have never and would never get out of bed at 4.30am, no matter what the kids wanted to doAbsolutely this.
Exactly! My four (well three, the youngest is a tiny baby) know full well that anytime before 7am is “the middle of the night” and while they may be awake.. we will be staying in bed, in the dark, until my alarm goes off!! This does occasionally mean I have four little people in my bed from 6am onwards but I have never and will never accept 4.30am as a normal wake time!!!!I have 5 and have never and would never get out of bed at 4.30am, no matter what the kids wanted to doI might be awake, but we would definitely be in bed. In the dark. Trying out damnedest to go back to sleep
But they are frequently up at 4am/4:30am according to her stories. There's no way her ex was up 2hrs / 1hr 30 before he needed to leave the house every day, surely?!I’m sure I’ve read posts that said her husband used to leave the house at 6am for work so the noise/movement with him getting ready probably woke the kids and they’ve got into this cycle. She’d have them in bed and settled before he came home too.
Maybe that’s when he did leave the house so that was the routine and they all got up at that time? For the record I think this is unlikely, but just a thought?But they are frequently up at 4am/4:30am according to her stories.

That's terrible isn't it!!She’s just posted on stories sounds like she’s had a rotten time and been in hospital. Thanked her brother for holding the fort and looking after the girls, not their dad!
