Should I allow a longer nap for ew

[Conniesmummy]

What did I say about my good fortune running out??!!
Ewu’s are back 🤦‍♀️🙈😳and she’s one grumpy child!!
They have the nerve to complain that they’re tired 😡
She fell asleep in the car five mins from home before lunchtime today so I allowed her 10 mins then woke her 🤦‍♀️
It’s that horrible whiney whinging voice, it’s enough to send you loopy!!
I think I’ve got a mega threenager on my hands!
Zoe, do you reckon we’re having our around birthday wobbles? She 3 in August x

[Conniesmummy]

Oh and a 2:15 upset night wake last night. Awake for over an hour!!

[Haribo2012]

Oh dear they just like to keep us on our toes don’t they!! Has she got big back molars? Could be birthday shenanigans we always got them early with DS1 x

[Conniesmummy]

All teeth accounted for darn it, can’t blame them anymore. I’m thinking maybe a little or build up maybe. She was tired yesterday. Seems in a better mood today so fingers crossed for a better night tonight. Not sure if she got too hot at one point as her heater temp had been upped, little fingers fiddling!! We’ve dropped it now so hopefully that won’t play a part 🙄
She’s just keeping us on our toes before our holiday. 6 hour car journey on Friday 😳. Doubt we’ll manage to avoid any kind of naps 🤦‍♀️

[Haribo2012]

Just think 6 hours awake in the car could be horrific lol I’d take a nap and late bedtime x

[Conniesmummy]

😂😂😂 glad its not just mine that’s horrific on a car journey 🤦‍♀️
I’m happy with a car nap too, especially as we are meeting relatives camping with us so littly will be wired anyway so at least we’d not be overtired and going well past it.

She’s had a much happier day today so fingers crossed for a better night. I think we’ve had a build up of ot all week. She’s been waking early every day we’re normally she’d been having at least one or two lie ins to catch up. She slept in til 7:45 this morning so at least made up for her night wake up.
Threenager and nap drop combined, happy days 😳🤦‍♀️🙈
She’s definitely playing power games though. She can be happily eating her meal then decide she wants to put herself in the naughty corner! Then has a benny when I say she isn’t being naughty. Talk about button pushing eh? 😂

[Haribo2012]

They just love sone control lol! Hoping the later wake up reset her for you x

[Conniesmummy]

It really didn’t 😔
She was awake at the crack of dawn again today. Had the biggest strop with me at swimming, rude and generally horrid. She had three strikes and then we got out. We’d only been in 10 mins!!! She then passed out in the car so I have in and let her sleep 30 mins. She did wake herself then so who knows she may be ok tonight!!
To be honest I’m passed caring today cos I was near to tears after the pool fiasco. She had already had a strop at breakfast and was sent to bed as she very cockily said she’d go to the naughty corner herself!!
She’s just waking up early and messing on her bed with toys. I already confiscated some last week and she’s been told that she is having none tonight!
I know it’s all part of her pushing the boundaries but god it’s unpleasant. I love her immensely but she isn’t very nice to be around right now.
I’m dreading our holiday cos at least at home I get some respite at work!!!

[Conniesmummy]

And here we go, payback for nap!!! Messing about in bed!!!
I give up!!!

[Haribo2012]

Awhh sweetie don’t worry too much I know it makes your anxiety bad it’s prob all developmental. Maybe instead of naughty corner try reward stickers for good behaviour and sad face stickers for bad behaviour.
I’ve found that often it’s attention when mine is extra hard work, sometimes need a distraction for us both to get out of the bad mood as such x

[Conniesmummy]

It’s her with the naughty corner. I used it once or twice ages ago when I was pushed to breaking point and was home alone. She never forgets anything!!!
Ye my anxiety does flare up when I’m pushed and I have to hold it together probably more than someone who doesn’t suffer with it. I think that’s why I’m so exhausted 😔😳
I’m sure it is developmental with her as she’s grown up so much recently 🙄

[Haribo2012]

Just keep thinking it’s all a phase, this will pass! Can you get out and have some you tome x

[Conniesmummy]

That’s all I’ve been saying to myself all day 😳
I can Hun, hopefully tomorrow 🤞providing I get all the holiday stuff sorted ok, I’m having my nails done 👍🏻

[Haribo2012]

Lovely hope the nails and holiday sorting went well x

[Conniesmummy]

Aw thanks hun.
She seemed to have an ok night and has apparently had a good day at Nursery today. No major issues at bath/bedtime. Although she did say in the car on the way home that she wasn’t friends with mummy or daddy! Not sure where that came from 🤦‍♀️😂
