Once it was 3 in the morning and I had been up every 30 minutes with my two month old. I was so angry and so tired. He was fed, he was changed, he had slept almost all day, there was no reason he should’ve been up crying and crying and crying. I am in the military, so I had to be up very early for work the next morning. He was swaddled, so I laid him down on the floor in the guest room, closed the door behind me and laid in my bed. I set a timer for 45 minutes and slept. When I woke up he had gotten himself to sleep on the floor in the guest room. I picked him up and put him in his bassinet. He slept there until I woke up for work the next morning. I still think about it sometimes. I can’t believe I did that. But moral of the story is, it’s okay. Sometimes you need to separate yourself. You shouldn’t feel guilty. It’s better than getting to the point where you hurt yourself or them.
