Definitely ordering a night light! I think it might help him a bit hes obviously very scared of the dark. God never did I think two and a half years later I'd still be fighting him to sleep. Noone tells you about the long term sleep loss you're going to experience😂😂 xx

@kelsey234 honestly, I cant remember the last time I had a night of undisturbed sleep. I am up with the baby around six times a night and Theo at least once lately, no idea whats going on with him. He used to sleep through.
I should really be sleeping during Anielas 7-11 stretch because she is up hourly after that. But like all parents, I like to have a couple of hours down time in the evening 😂

Maybe we will sleep when they are 18 😂 xx

I know I wish my oh would be a bit more understanding but hes one of those men that expects him to be tucked up in bed 7pm and not hear anything from him until the morning which is just so unrealistic 😑 I'll try talking to him later on as it makes me so on edge as if Tommy kicks off I'm trying to get him to calm down otherwise I know his dad is going to kick off and get all stressy so it's a nightmare.
I do think he has been thrown in the deep end a little at nursery because even though hes only doing 2 afternoons a week it's for 5 hours at a time and I cant even go in and get him settled like I normally would before covid he just gets taken away from me at the gate and I think hes finding that hard 😩 it would be nicer if I could go with him and let him get settled then leave but I know that cant happen right now.
Thanks though feel like I'm just trying to keep the peace with everyone at the minute and noone worries about me being stressed 21 weeks pregnant. They should both calm down and stop stressing me out! 😂 xxx

@kelsey234 ahhh yes more men are like this than not i duno what world they live in tbh 🤣 my oh says u said have kids it would be fun she said 🤣 but yeah I'd deffo just have a chat with him honestly it will make it so much easier for you in dealing with it im speaking from my own experience my oh would bicker over this to the point if adam woke up id bring him downstairs to save the argument but doo not do tha if anything just keep doing what your doing you'll look back soon when u see someone eles do a post like this n think wow ye member we passed tha hurdle it will move on to something eles. And i totally get what you mean it broke my heart not been able to stay with mine too n u just feel so scum walking away but in the long run its the best thing so your right to keep telling yourself its for his own good. Give it a few more weeks n he will not want to miss a day! As for going downstairs start doing it whilst it's daytime like say be back now 2 minutes going to get bla bla n it will ease his anxiety abit cos he'll know your just there. Always a message away if you need a good rant lovely 💖

Yeah definitely I'm pretty sure its everything going on that's stressing him put bless him. Hopefully itll get better soon. Thanks lovely 💗 x

Thanks lovely, I try not to get angry with him as I know hes not doing it to be naughty but more because hes just had a lot going on. It's my partner that's moaning as he does long days at work and then tommy screaming and throwing tantrums all evening is creating a bit of an atmosphere 🙄
Hoping he will settle down soon, however I dont know how to get him over the fear of being upstairs without us xx

@kelsey234, your partner moaning isn’t going to help, if anything it’ll make the little one worse and he’ll think it’s okay to moan too. He’s only 2, he doesn’t really understand about tantrums. It just sounds like he’s overwhelmed, he needs time to adapt to everything. It’s the same when us as adults start something new, it takes time to adjust to it. Hopefully everything will be better soon x
