My daughter turned two April 8th and she is loud , obnoxious , dramatic , and very jelous and clingy because of the upcoming arrival that she cannot fully understand. I love and cherish my daughters colorfull attitude and zeal towards life , but at the same time it can be frustrating. My biggest frustration right know is her sleep schedule a month ago she went from putting herself to bed to refusing and nap time and bedtime have become a total ordeal , tonite I actually gave up left her with my husband and drove around the block for 45 minutes she was still up crying for me when I returned. I am lost , pissed , depressed and at the end of my rope I was actually in tears tonite. I rocked my son to sleep or layed down and rubbed his back until he was two and a half years old , it doesnt bother me to do the same for my daughter. The problem is its not that simple she likes to play in her bed and wants me to stay til she gets sleepy then when she finally begins to go to sleep even when her eyes are closed the minute the floorboard creeks or the bed shifts her eyes pop open and we are back to square one , within three to four hours she is up and crawling into bed with us for the remainder of the night , I have tried everything I can think of , to top it off its spilling over into the daytime she wants me to be with her all the time , holding her or playing with her , even after I spend time playing with her and giving her attention when I tell her its time for mommy to do the laundry or the dishes she pitches a fit , with the new baby on the way I so desperatly want to break her of these habits and this insecurity but am at a loss I feel guilty for wanting my evenings back but I do .... I dont mind comforting her for a while but taking an hour and a half to put her to bed every night is to much!View Thread
