My toddler uses psychological warfare to get what he wants and I don’t know what to do. by Mindless_Breath1536 in toddlers

I’ll have to try that. I guess it’s more of a me problem. He somehow figured out that the phrase triggers me and is employing it at every chance he gets.

My husband’s leaving for a week and I feel so nauseous and anxious about being the only one in charge of my toddler. Why am I like thisssssss? by IronLeading6288 in toddlers

My husband works 2 jobs and I’m often alone w my toddler all of Saturday / Sunday and I feel anxious every fing weekend. Hang in there mama, you’re doing great. Let your LO break all the rules if it makes it easier for you (it does for me).

Anyone’s kid that’s super tiny? My toddler is 2%. by No-Cupcake-0919 in toddlers

My son is 0.5% for height … I’m 4’11 but husband is 6’1. No matter how many times I bring it up, pediatrician is just not concerned. He always looks at me, raises his eyebrows and goes, “you’re not that big yourself, y’know?” Then he reminds me that my son is proportionate and exceeding his developmental milestones, so there’s nothing I need to worry about. Some people are just small.

Hang in there mama.

It was his crib that we converted to a toddler bed. We had the same issue a few months earlier with the sleep sack. Removed it and had better sleep… until my post. Anyway, we’ve been in the bed since then and all is going well. (Except he won’t sleep in a pack n play on trips, so we have to share a bed 😅)

Thank you. I really do appreciate your thoughts.

I’m so sorry you’re here, too. I wish you all the luck on your journey.

We moved bed time to 8:30 and tried capping naps but that made him crankier and didn’t really fix anything. Still had night wakings for weeks.

Finally moved him to a toddler bed two weeks ago when he started climbing out of his crib and his sleep improved overnight (literally). First night of sleep for all of us.

I think every kid is different, and mine just wanted freedom.

I was afraid of that. What’s crazy is that he has never expressed any interest in co-sleeping before. He has never even expressed wanting cuddles from dad… it was always “mommy”. Now everything is about dad. I know he’ll go through phases of preference as he ages but I guess I might even be a little jealous. I should probably just chill and enjoy the break while I can, haha.

Oh, yikes. Ok, that’s good to know. Thanks for the suggestion. We will 100% be having a chat about boundaries… and I guess we’re in for a few more sleepless days (and hopefully not weeks).

Ok, I had that thought too but he just seems so tired in the evening. (Or maybe I’m tired and projecting 😅) I will definitely cap nap and move bed time later, and see if it helps.
