My 4 year old makes me so upset waking me up every morning like wtf let me sleep in I already have insomnia and can't sleep I get up cook breakfast lunch and dinner he will wake me up at 5 in the morning mama I'm ready for breakfast like wtf boy I'm tires he know I'm going to get up and cook I have between 2 and 5 weeks before baby gets here I need all my rest like wtf
When does he go to bed? Can you put him in bed with you and turn on the tv and try and sleep more?
I taught my son way early on how to make his own cereal lol. I’d even have morning snacks available. He’s 6 1/2 now and he’s always been self sufficient and I’ve always gotten my sleep lol. @ambrerumph1440,
@bigmama18md he go to bed at about 9 and he won't stop until I get up my oldest alot of times feed him cereal and he still wake me up to cook
@whoswhoo my 4 year old do I think just for the hell of it I think cause my oldest kids wake up and feed him and sometimes even cook and he still wake me up with it it's getting frustrating cause I'm so close until baby gets her e
@ambrerumph1440, try this. Get a regular clock. Color it in 3 sections. Red, yellow, and green. Red from 4-7. Yellow from 7-8 and free from 8 on. Tell him if the little hand is in the color red, he is not allowed up and must go back to bed. If the little hand is in the yellow he may get up and play quietly or watch tv. When the little hand Is in the green he may then come to you. Put a pop tart or something by his bed so he can munch if he gets hungry. I hope that makes sense. I’ll try and find a picture of what I mean.
@bigmama18md sounds like a good idea I'ma try it that's what I have been doing like putting stuff next to him to get but he just insist I needs to be up idk why it's crazy cause he never did this until like the past two weeks I be wanting to cry cause I toss and turn at night and then he wake up like acting like that he at times hr turns the TV up really high and my oldest gets up a lot with him
@ambrerumph1440, he’s probably acting out because he knows he isn’t going to be the baby any more. Just be sturn and tell him to stay in bed. Or if he doesn’t listen when he gets up after you told him not to put him in timeout. I’m sure he won’t keep getting up 😂
@bigmama18md I be giving him my phone I know I shouldn't put him on hold but I be so drained and he laughs like it's funny
@ambrerumph1440, do not feel bad. That is way too early to be up. I love my kids but don’t want to see their faces at 5 am. You need your rest too. You are growing another person. It takes a lot of energy out of you.
@bigmama18md but alot of times I just get up and be grouchy all day like today I'm so frustrated I can go insane
@ambrerumph1440, just keep in mind you can’t pour from an empty glass. So to be the best mom you can you have to take care of yourself and your needs 1st!!
@bigmama18md thanks hun and trust I try and nesting at the same time is horrible with a house full of boys is like run and go hide and go hide and also wanting him here so my hormone's can stop acting a fool like wtffffffffff
