[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you live near Los Angeles? We saw a lot of this when we lived there, maybe over 50% of families were into this nonsense, with the results being everyone was pretty unhappy.[/quote]

Op here. Lol no but I do think they are very deep into their own interpretation of attachment parenting. The 2 yo is still up 3 times a night to nurse. And I’m not sure I’ve ever seen any of their kids go into timeout before. And yeah even on vacation my sister has to prep all their food. I shopped for her before they came and tried to get all her items but on a few I couldn’t (Costco didn’t have the organic butter, so I got non-organic and she rejected it).

I’m just so tired. We are on day 4. 3.5 days to go. [/quote]

Oh my god. That is beyond messed up. I try not to judge people who extended breastfeed but to be waking up 3x a night at 2 is not healthy or normal christ[/quote]

Op here. Yeah I had my sis walk me through a typical night. They also are unwilling to use night pull ups, and their 4 and 6 yo both wet the bed most nights so they are changing bedding in the middle of the night. Also the kids apparently each also wake up at least once a night and need comforting. So between the nursing, pee accidents, comforting, and sippy milk runs for the older kids, it’s basically every 45-90 minutes they are all up every single night.

Also none of her kids nap, so she doesn’t get a break at nap time either.[/quote]

Can you guys suggest you watch the kids while they nap?  I'm a much better parent and person when I'm well rested.  Helping out while one naps will maybe show them the benefits of sleep.  Is the husband going along with all of this?  Does he seem miserable too?[/quote]
