I guess she has to get used to you doing things eventually. I try to limit day chores. Ironing I do in the evening and upstairs I do at the weekend. They either follow me around or I give them a snack & put the tv on lol.

@sara-lou86 I so hope it is just a phase! I would love it if she had at least a short nap till she is at least 3...

@kayteamay I think Daria is the same. If I allow her not to nap she gets really tired and is either really surpsessed compared to her usual self, or starts crying about 3-4 because she is overtired :(

Putting her down when she is fighting it is not a very grateful job either, today it took me 2 hours and she napped for 1. The 2 hours neither of us enjoyed, they were wasted, and bed time was late and not easy either.

And if she is awake all the time, when do I even do my chores? She hates it when I cook, if I clean, she makes a worse mess while I'm cleaning by trying to help, or just cries, can't iron in front of her because she crawls under the board and pulls the cord :///

Lola stopped napping at about a year and a half. She went the whole day without napping but would get really grumpy! She still gets grumpy and sometimes falls asleeo but it depends if shes had a busy day or didnt sleep well the night before x

I would say the average age is between 2-3years. But I have known children to nap over 3years and some to stop before 2. Morgan stopped having naps around 2 for a little while then started needing them again until he was about 2 1/2years.
