[quote=Anonymous]OP - I did this once to my toddler years ago for similar reasons, and it was the very last time because it felt so awful. I suspect that's what happened to you. My husband worked a late shift so it was often me alone at bedtime and it was hard. I took PEP classes (Parent Encouragement Program) which really helped. But the piece of those classes that surprisingly worked best was to give your older child dedicated "floor time" - promise her an hour, maybe while the baby is napping or just hanging out - where she leads the activity and gets your full attention. Put away the cellphone and don't try to multitask. Remember that what they really want is your approval, attention, and love.[/quote]
