My boy's are driving me mad the ywon't go to sleep before 9pm at night we even tried to tire them out and keep them up a little later, but no still jumping round their room till all hour's. We try to put them to bed a diffent times we put Mikey down first and he cries for his bro so we put Alan down and he want's Mikey. We can't sperate them my bro lives with us we are at our wit's end I know it's a hot to sleep, but still they are so tired through out the day it is rediculas. ------------- Deborah Mum to:

Just a thought - it is the heat making things worse? A friend was just telling me today that her toddler is having later bedtimes now because he just won't settle until the evening cools down a bit more. ------------- Andie |

I think it's the heat thing too and daylight savings. I have noticed that Ollie has not settled till around 8 pm now (usually goes to bed around 7 pm). ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |

I am pretty sure that the heat is it Andie its just so frustrating having them both up and night it really cut's into what little evening we have plus cause there is not really alot of thnig's on tv that I would be happy them seeing or hearing, but I like to watch I have to miss out on them too. ------------- Deborah Mum to:

Ive been having thes probs as well, Deb, amd I quite like to watch the Tele, too. Instead of fighting with him and ffeling angry and resentful, i let him have a quiet play in his room, (or both if Charly is up as well) so its quiet in the lounge for us, and evry 10 mins or so, go up and check on him and warn him that bed time is coming up. I do that for about half an hour or so, and always use the "nice mummy" voice (even though mad bad ass mummy is inside) and it workls well ish. Then after a couple of weeks, I wound that bedtime (which was often well after 8.30) back by about 10 mins every 2 or 3 days, now we are back at 7.30/8pm. ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |
