I'm going crazy and I'm so tired. I just don't know what to do anymore.
We've cut out Rebekah's naps at my mom's house in hopes of getting her to bed earlier. Sometimes she goes to be early, other days she fights sleep and doesn't go to sleep until 11pm. She did that one night this week.
Daycare makes them take a 3-hr rest. She doesn't sleep that whole time, maybe just an hour or so. On Tuesday she didn't sleep at all.
So now I'm having horrible issues getting her into bed AND getting her up in the morning. It takes me 45 minutes or more to just wake her up. She's turning into Darren. :( I actually had to undress her and put her on the potty while she was still sleeping this morning, just to wake her up. And then because she didn't wake up on her own, she cries the whole time I'm trying to get her dressed. She was asleep by 9:30pm last night and I didn't get her to wake up until after 8:15am this morning. The TV was on - Wiggles - and the alarm was going off and she slept through all of it. (She was in my bed since she woke up after Darren went to work and asked to come to my bed)
I cannot spend the rest of my life with two Darrens who won't wake up in the mornings. That's what she's turning into.
And, to make matters worse, she doesn't want to go to daycare anymore. This week, she's started crying the night before and then cries all morning and fights me during our whole morning routine. Tuesday and today she's cried when I dropped her off. And they said she just sat on her mat and cried all through nap time on Tuesday.
We're having a series of very bad mornings now. By the time I get to work, I'm so tired and upset from the fighting and the crying. Our mornings are terrible!
