Terrible twos????
I think Im gonna go crazy or pass out - due to lack of sleep. I sat in the bedroom with Isaac for 45 mins last night while he fell asleep which is alot better than what it has previously been. I used to have to bring him down coz the screaming woke the other 2 up, which, I know has made things worse. He will be in bed for a few hours and I know he''ll wake up screaming to get in bed with me, which I do because yet again his screaming will wake the other two up. Having him in my bed means I cant sleep properly coz hes a lil fidget bum and hes having broken sleep too as I still get up to my 6 months old 2 times a night.
A few months back (before the baby) we done controlled crying and put in place a strong routine with him and it worked after a few weeks of doing it but this past week or so it has all gone to pot and I am completely and utterly exhusted having a nights sleep like that then looking after the boys the next day.
Also he has got really bad for not listening to us. if we say Isaac dont do that he'll do it and look at you while hes doing it. He has got spiteful with J and is also refusing to eat at dinner time. Isaac will be 2 on Jan 6th.
Just writing this down has made me realise how much im failing him as a mum. Its as if these past couple of weeks hes a different child and I dont know what to do.
Dont know whether im writing this for advice or just to offload but thanks ladies xx

your isaac seems to be getting it all at once which can be a good thing but could be bad because of you not sleeping at night!
im just hoping the not sleeping much at night and falling to sleep by them self will be sorted out soon because i feel like a zombie and i bet you do to!!
if you want to talk just let me know and i will be there for you!!

Does Issac still sleep in the day? Could he maybe be getting over tired by tea time and that's why he won't eat and isn't settling well at night? Don't know what else to suggest hun but you know where I am if you need to talk.
