[quote=Anonymous]Biggest mistake we made is not doing cry it out. Now we have two kids who will not go to sleep unless parent with them in the room -- little one becomes panicky if a parent leaves or if they wake up at night and no parent is nearby. the older one -- refuses to stay in bed. just. won't. listen. tonight I told him that he would lose the goody bags from weekend bday parties if he go out of bed. he had three parties. he got out of bed three times. bye-bye goody bags. then he tried to do an end run around me into the hall. I pulled him off the door and physically tossed him back into bed and now feel all sorts of guilty about it. I feel like I have no recourse. He just flat out doesn't care what DH or I say or do. I work very early hours during week -- frequently have to be up at 430 a.m. so I sit here resenting them more and more because all the hours spent cajoling them to go to sleep is time I'm not spending cleaning/with DH/taking care of myself etc.[/quote]
