At night

They have a big problem because the 3 year old can probably either climb out of his crib or he's already in a toddler bed. So if they try to cry him out he will be up bumping around in his room doing god-knows-what. That is assuming he's not still in mommy and daddy's bed.

Pregnant women and parents of newborns read this and be warned: sleep train early, make your kid sleep in their own bed early, do not go down this road.

So we sleep trained our first but once we put him in a toddler bed, around age 2, we had to do it again. We did this: removed all potentially dangerous items from the room and anchored all furniture (he is a climber), installed a camera so we could keep an eye on things, put him to bed and locked the door. He would wander around the first few nights, throw around toys, whine by the door and often fall asleep on the ground. Once he was asleep, we would go in and move him to his bed. He got accustomed to it in about a week and we haven’t had issues since.

This is also what I thought. I was expecting to read a very bizarre post.

34 months old? Referring to yourself in only the third person? There is a lot to unpack here!

With the creepy mom that crawls out of the room like in that awful book “I’ll love you forever “

I have never heard anyone refer to their child by months once past 18 months. I’m so curious what the OP is like IRL.

This whole post just creeps me out. Something about the way OP is referring to her 34 month old child as “the boy” is giving me the creeps. And referring to herself as “mama “. Not that strange but all together seem like a very odd dynamic.

OP, if you are for real…it’s very normal for a child have more of an attachment to their mother at this age. You are literally their first provider. This is not an unusual situation. This will last a short time and you’ll be back here in a couple years upset that “the boy “prefers dada.

OP, mom is treating the toddler like a baby. She is absolutely making everything worse.

OH yeah. OP is definitely the "mama" and completely over bearing. She is going to screw up her kid if she keeps this up.

OP are you a troll? It would be great if you came back and posted “got you”! We could all have a good laugh.
