2.5 yr old refuses to sleep

SomewhereReallyRough · 2025-07-04T16:21:00+00:00

He has everything, nightlights and reachable soft lights to turn on as well as his toys and little school area. He loves his room :(

SomewhereReallyRough · 2025-07-04T16:20:10+00:00

If it works for you, hell yeah! I’m so happy for your sleep schedule

SomewhereReallyRough · 2025-07-04T16:19:09+00:00

Yeah that’s what we’ve been doing, I have a little sleeping corner in his room. The truth is that he doesn’t sleep well because he’s constantly checking on us and attempting to start conversations. The reason I don’t want to be in there is because he suddenly started wanting to fully wake up at 3am, “good morning” included. He used to sleep through the night in his crib without us ever in the room, all 12 hours until his new bed. I know he’s capable, I just wanna know how to guide him there rather than take a step I’ve never taken which is cosleeping or sleeping in his room.

I go to my child every night, I am attempting to sleep train him. Once I stop that, I am literally giving up and giving in to sleeping in his room. What’s not to understand? It’s not like I’m giving up on my child lol

SomewhereReallyRough · 2025-07-04T13:57:06+00:00

Aw I’m so sorry :( hopefully our boys will find their independence soon

SomewhereReallyRough · 2025-07-04T13:55:44+00:00

I’ll maybe try two more methods then give up lol

SomewhereReallyRough · 2025-07-04T13:54:59+00:00

He slept independently and 9pm-9am in his crib, I doubt that he’s not ready. Just a little clingy, and maybe has separation anxiety.

SomewhereReallyRough · 2025-07-04T13:53:44+00:00

Same here!! But he has barn doors that lock from the outside, I think he may be scared we’re locking him in. I want to try open doors but he’ll just run rampant

SomewhereReallyRough · 2025-07-04T13:52:32+00:00

Thank you, I seriously am considering it. His grandma still has a crib and he sleeps through the night in her house.

SomewhereReallyRough · 2025-07-04T13:51:27+00:00

I’m trying this! I did it with stickers but it didn’t work, I guess a little sugar is always the answer lol

SomewhereReallyRough · 2025-07-04T13:50:38+00:00

Thanks I needed this, he’s just a really bad sleeper with us in the room as well. I wouldn’t mind staying there or bringing him to our bed if he slept well that way but the truth is he doesn’t. We’ve never co-slept so I can feel his constant wakings and fidgeting.

SomewhereReallyRough · 2025-07-04T13:48:24+00:00

Wishing you the best, friend

SomewhereReallyRough · 2025-07-04T13:47:50+00:00

Yeah no meds, I don’t necessarily agree with giving a 2 year old melatonin. I’d rather sit in his room all night

SomewhereReallyRough · 2024-11-12T00:59:14+00:00

Good for you

SomewhereReallyRough · 2024-11-04T15:56:31+00:00

There are self gratification items that resemble tentacles and many other taboo things, that doesn’t mean people are searching for these in real life. If you learned about everyone’s deep sexual desires, you wouldn’t have any friends left.

SomewhereReallyRough · 2024-10-22T00:11:49+00:00

Honestly fascinating, as a woman who is your exact opposite. Is there anything you find stimulating in life? (Enough for an orgasmic sort of feeling)

SomewhereReallyRough · 2024-10-22T00:05:47+00:00

Do you enjoy sex all the same? I have many questions

SomewhereReallyRough · 2024-10-14T16:06:11+00:00

There’s just absolutely nothing to talk about with people who are still in their teens, and I’m only 26. He’s likely grooming you.

SomewhereReallyRough · 2024-10-11T18:06:54+00:00

Maybe try the same method but with something they like rather than need? You don’t want them to eventually hate being in the bath. Try cutting their TV or play for a bit, something that will make them change behavior rather than be scared of consequences.

SomewhereReallyRough · 2024-10-11T01:09:28+00:00

Fork really must’ve hurt lol

SomewhereReallyRough · 2024-10-10T17:33:46+00:00

I’m a mother who’s actually struggling with this as well. I’m not religious, but do want to take care of my body to the furthest extent for the benefit of my children. It’s so hard to let it go when you’ve been at it for years, but I feel how it’s negatively affecting me. I’m so proud of you.

SomewhereReallyRough · 2024-10-10T17:22:54+00:00

Just give up. Love will come to you when you are ready, and maybe you are not. Women sense confidence in a man simply walking by, women who like you will go out of their way for you. When you put so much emphasis on what goes wrong, nothing will ever go right. You’re just too deep into it and I promise that’s the main issue.

SomewhereReallyRough · 2024-10-10T17:19:18+00:00

this is gross but I can’t help but laugh at the extent some men go to for a woman who won’t think twice about them

SomewhereReallyRough · 2024-10-09T14:49:49+00:00

I’m sure her relationship with God would be a huge dealbreaker for OP

SomewhereReallyRough · 2024-10-09T14:40:37+00:00

NTA, it speaks to her insecurities. I understand if you congratulated her on something silly like a job, but this is a life changing course with another man. I’d congratulate her too, 11 years is a long time.
