+1 We had a pretty chill toddler, and eating out was still stressful. We have friends with kids similar in age who didn't eat out for years because it was a nightmare. Their kids are perfectly fine, well-adjusted tweens now. The sleep situation also sounds very typical. This is why many parents resort to co-sleeping. Not saying that's a good thing or a bad thing. It just illustrates that many folks just kind of give up and do what works for that kid.

A lot of this sounds really normal - maybe on the stressful side of normal because you've been out of the toddler years for a while. Throw everything you think you know about parenting a toddler out the window and start over fresh.

You may also want to examine how the nanny is interacting with her. You may need to start over there as well. Some nannies just aren't a good fit for a kid who's a little extra. [/quote]
