I can’t do it anymore

It’s so hard isn’t it? And when people say ‘oh you need a bedtime routine’ I’m like: ‘yeah we do- she doesn’t give a crap!’ 😂 Last night it took my daughter 2 hours of stories, songs and ‘hairdressers’ before she was ready for bed! 😱 Sometimes though (like tonight) she can be so silly so I just leave the room and keep an eye on her on the monitor. I keep books and some calm toys in there and sometimes she cries a bit but usually she settles and eventually falls asleep. I don’t know what your set up is but I find that when my partner and I split duties, so for example one of us does bath the other does stories and bed, it’s easier to manage. However, if he’s working late or out for the evening it’s soooo long!
We was having that because we was trying the whole bedtime at 7/7:30pm but now switched it to 6 hours after wake up from nap, and she goes to bed we lie in bed for about 30-45mins but she’s not kicking and screaming like she used to so it’s much nicer x
I feel you, both of mine are exactly the same. I just gave up and made bed time later. If they don’t sleep they don’t sleep. I just bring them down, have a relaxing brew and try again an hour later.
