aaw you poor thing!!
maybe I don’t want to be a stay-at-home-mum? hehe. maybe i’ll be the bread winner for the family, leave the hubby at home.
i’m sure there are major bonuses to being at home though even if it is 24-7.

so sorry. I don’t know what to do about night terrors. The pins & needles sound like growing pains though. I’m not sure what can be done for those either…just so glad that dd slept through them.

As for monkey waking you up, you could tell her it’s time to play quietly in her room while you go back to your nice bed.

I’m not sure I ever parented any other way but on my own. I had a husband, but he figured his contribution to the checking account was all he was responsible for. Don’t get me wrong! This was a major contribution, but as far as helping with the babies… not so much.

Anyway, enough whining. My firstborn had night terrors. It was scary. Especially when it first happened and I didn’t know what it was. But I learned to just make him relax and get him to close his eyes. It seems that’s what you do, too. He is a very special person. He’s supernaturally “tuned-in” and practically an Empath in the way he perceives others’ emotions. I don’t know if this has anything to do with night terrors. But that’s what he is. Oh, and he was a child prodigy, playing classical music on piano and composing. He’s quite exceptional.

Uggh.
We dealt with night terrors too. It was a relatively short time though. My niece did too. My doctor told me not to worry too much – they won’t remember it and they’ll grow out of it. (but you never get the sleep back).

I so so so get this. I am parenting on my own this week *shudders* so all that night time parenting AND daytime parenting is killing me … so worth it to watch them fall asleep, just hard to always remember that

We struggled with middle of the night wakeups for a while. (Well, technically not always we… I’m such a sound sleeper that MTM usually heard her and dealt with it while I slept, but you get the idea.)

It’s tough, but eventually (or so they tell us) they do sleep on their own, all night. (Yeah, I’ll believe it when I see it too.)
