Weary math












One quite spoiled 17 month old little girl who has slept in mommy's and daddy's bed for 17 months, nursing on demand and oh, is she demanding.

+
One mommy who is at her wit's end with all the night-mothering and has decided that the little girl will sleep in the toddler bed next to mommy's bed ASAP.

+

One daddy who has demanded that said toddler-bed-experiment take place when he is out of town because there will be crying involved and he is a weak, weak man when it comes to baby tears.

=

No sleep for little girl. Even less sleep for mommy. And eight solid hours of sleep in a hotel for the weak, weak can't-take-baby-tears daddy who is away on business.

Sometimes, it's really good to be him.

OH. Poor girls! I feel for ya. Hang in there. Eventually you'l both be sleeping -- even if it is from pure exhaustion!

Oh...hopefully she'll get adjusted soon and you can both get some rest.

I feel ya! After 2 1/2 years of Allan sleeping in his own bed without waking up during the night, he's decided Mommmy & Daddy's bed is now to include him. I allow him to fall asleep in our bed to avoid the neighbors from calling cps. Then I move him to his own. Well, during the night he manages to find his way back.

I am at the 6 mo mark and already counting down the days until he gets in his own bed! I have about 3 more months until I just can't handle it anymore. Way to go for 17!!!
