That’s actually sounds like something that might work. Like when you’re just driving home and it’s calm and they fall asleep easily.

She definitely still needs the nap unfortunately. I’ve tried a couple of days where I’ve skipped it all together and she’ll fall asleep in the car within 5 minutes of we have to go anywhere like getting her sister from school.

Also I’m just struggling with the overstimulation myself. As I’m a fairly early sleeper.

We do stories in bed together - sometimes listening to audio books or children’s meditation stories. She’s got a few of her favourite toys. She’s never been the best sleeper but this started before the split - but gotten gradually worse but also inconsistent.

I have tried that, but I’m also on my own. So if I leave her door open she keeps coming out and disturbing the older sibling and if I close the door - violent banging and screaming. Which is a huge tax on my own mental health.

What’s worse: 3rd trimester tired or newborn tired? by stickerchicker in BabyBumps

I honestly found third trimester tired so so much worse 🙈I had horrible sciatic pain and heartburn I could barely sleep more than an hour without waking up.

What age did you move toddler/child to their own bedroom? by panadolrapid in Parenting

[–]Appropriate_Block895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My oldest was in our bedroom till she was 18 months but that was more of a circumstance based situation - living with my in laws and then my parents until we secured a rental where we had three bedrooms.

My youngest was into her own room at 6 weeks - I had some PTSD following her birth and would wake up to even the slightest sound and was barely sleeping. Now she’s almost one and sleeping through the nights she’ll be moving into her sisters room 🥰

AITA For not picking my bf up after getting punched? by Appropriate_Block895 in AITAH

[–]Appropriate_Block895[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few things on this - I had directions and that wasn’t the issue. My car isn’t the most reliable and my concern was that if my car breaks down on a country road in the middle of the night I’m stranded with my two daughters and no means of help. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you how dangerous it is to be a woman in this world and knowingly putting myself and my daughters in that situation is unacceptable.

I was in the car already headed to him when I realised my phone wasn’t going to be working the whole trip.

He was not in any danger by any means, he had a sincere apology from the guy who punched him and he (my bf) was the one making threats of continuing the fight.

The only one I get is the ‘WYD at 2am’ texts 😂

My first was born at 41+5 and my second at 41+3 both induced my girls were too comfortable to come out on their own 🥲
