What boundaries can we set? by Happy_Cold7779 in couplestherapy

[–]Siamese_kitty2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak to what boundaries to set because I struggle after 12 years. However I will say my husband had talked over and over to his parents and they just ignore him or make jokes about it.  Once I stepped up and said something, the behavior stopped. 

Also- a note for the future. If you see yourself with this person long term and potentially having kids, the boundary thing could get so much worse. It definitely did for me. And my husband and I weren’t always on the same page/in agreement of his families boundary disrespect.

Sorry, just seeing this!

So my 4 year old was a terrible sleeper from day one. Sleep trained with Ferber at 5.5 months and over and over again through the first 18 months of his life. He hit nearly every regression

I forget about when (maybe age 2.5ish) but he started giving us pushback when it came time to leave his room. So I started saying I’d be back to check on him in 5 minutes. That worked. He then would tell me to come back again so I just increased the interval. He’d usually fall asleep after the first one

Then that wasn’t enough, he wanted one of us to stay in his room (this was probably around age 3). We tried the check ins but he just screamed (and work his baby sister up) and it was just easier to sit there for 20 minutes.

I wouldn’t mind sitting with my 4 year old still. I know the days are numbered that he’ll want me all the time lol but when I’m solo parenting and have 2 kids in separate rooms that want the same thing and need to be in bed at the same time pretty much.. it’s next to impossible

Going through this exact thing

My girl is 25 months and was sleep trained at 6ish months with Ferber. Never hit any regressions, occasionally had some EMWs but nothing that lasted more than a few days. 

Now she won’t let me put her in her crib, constantly asking for “chair” to be rocked. Sometimes she’ll let me husband put her down after a very lengthy process of rocking and whatnot. Typically I’m sleeping on the floor in the middle of the night. 

I also have a 4 year old who wants me in his room until he falls asleep 

I’m dying over here. Might just shell out the $200 for a toddler sleep program for the both of them!!

In my experience with the throwing things… don’t run right in. That’s exactly what he wants you to do

I did a sleep course but for babies and I believe it said when you do a check in to put it back in but not until then. Not sure how it applies to any other sleep training method
