RE: starting school year & Sleeping problems--GrandmomBev's apology

[Guest guest]

Dear Lori, & ,

I wasn't trying to be the one to tell you what to do in the real sense

of that statement .It was really my opinion , based on some experiences

& what the docs told me/us . I had one son who did the same thing. We

didn't have anyone with CF or sick, in house at that time , so I wasn't

prepared for it. He was my second child , so thought it was just a bit

of jealousy of older brother-I really didn't know , so I did take their

advise. It worked for me/us so was just passing it on.. I too, agree

with Lori , you have to do what you think is best & you feel comfortable

with. As I did say in my post . you are such a great mom, from all

the posts I have read & knew you would understand. I hope my previous

post didn't offend you.....That was not my intent. Have a great day &

enjoy your free day.

LOVE & HUGS, grandmomBEV

Re: starting school year & Sleeping problems

There actually are doctors and psychologists who are advocates of a

family bed. It seems to me that each family must make this decision for

themselves and not worry about what people outside their family

(including doctors) think. There are always going to be disagreements

about ways to parent.

starting school year & Sleeping problems

My two babies went back to school today for the new year Yippee! My

house was so quite and I was able to get all the house work done by

11am. Eilish walked into her class like she owned it. One of the new

mum's said " she's not new is she " . She has already done 6 months in

there and now she does this year as well. She got a certificate for

being a helper to the new kids. Liam also had a lovely day. He had 1

hour of home work so that was a shock for me.

Does anyone have a problem getting their child/children to go to bed

and

stay in bed at night? Eilish goes of fine, but Liam Grrr!. Last

night he was up and down for 2 1/2 hours. There is always a lot of

tears, and the usual " your so mean, you don't love me " things. Liam

has

always been a boy who loves sleeping with me. I am trying to get him

into his own bed but its so hard. He's got me wrapped around his

finger. If he cries I usually give in as I don't like to see him

upset.

But tonight I am really at my wits end as to what to do to make him

stay

there. That's why he wont sleep at anyone's house as 'mummy' isn't

there to crawl in with. Of course I love him cuddling in with me, but

I

think at 8 1/2 I need to at least try to make him sleep in his own

bed.

Was my fault as I started it from 11 months old, so its pay back time

now.
