[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you a “I have to lay down with my kids for them to sleep” type or something? In what universe do you have no time? Your kids go to bed at what time and you go to bed at what time? How old are your kids? Do they not attend school? Do they never play with other kids or each other?[/quote]

OP here and yes, I have to lay down with the 1 year old to get her to sleep 😩 They do attend school, but I work all day. If I’m not tending to them or DH, I’m doing things around the house, laundry, etc. I don’t have a ton of sit down time (except on the toilet, down time at work like right now, etc.) I need to assess and try to make better use of my time.

No, you don’t “have to,” you choose to. There are tons of books and resources out there on how to break this bad habit. But you won’t, you’ll just go the path of least resistance. [/quote]

What is your damage?   Sit yourself down with your judgy judgy nasty responses.

I had phases with both kids when I sat with them to get them to sleep.  It was temporary.  I wasn't sitting with them later on, just when they were little.

And I would watch shows on my ipad using earphones or read a book on my ipad while I sat with them, so I actually enjoyed that time.  They settled quickly and easily and I got to read!  If you are laying down with your kid, maybe you could transition to just sitting in the room, so that you can use that time to watch something or read something that interests you.[/quote]
