[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because a night of solo bedtime for DH means I owe him a night where I am flying solo at bedtime so he can go out, and a night out is hardly ever worth that to me. [/quote]

I feel this so hard. My youngest didn’t sleep through the night until he was almost 3. He had night terrors and would scream until he threw up. I was a zombie and it took everything I had just to stay employed. My husband offered me a weekend away, but I couldn’t do it because I knew I couldn’t offer him a weekend away and I couldn’t be alone with my kids for 36-48 hours. My husband could do bedtime for our 2 kids alone, but I couldn’t go out because I knew I would likely be awake from 1-3am. Friends would ask how I was doing and I would say my toddler was a crap sleeper, but no one understands unless they also haven’t slept a full night for several years. I just kept putting things off with friends because I thought my kid would out grow it. Every month I thought “next month will be better” but it never was - not for a long time.

If someone had offered to come to my house and just sit and talk over a glass of wine for a hour once the kids were asleep and then leave, I would have been so grateful. [/quote]
