Oh dear sounds stressful, have a little cry I always find it helps. If it’s stressing you out, take her out in the fresh air for a bit see if she can chill out a bit or have a story together!?x

Oh Zoe, she’s been a proper madam most of the day 🤦‍♀️
It is mega hot but I know what a rubbish bedtime usually equates to, ewu 😳😔
Got a busy day out at the zoo tomorrow and I’m already stressing about how she’ll be 😢
Oh just thinks I’m a mental case 😔🙄
She has been out in the fresh air all day. With an hour in a soft play thrown in!! I’m thinking a bit over stimulated maybe. Such a fine balance and what worked the other week doesn’t this week in the van. Literally 3 weeks ago she was on her knees at bedtime, this trip she’s fought bedtime both nights so far. We’re only away til Tuesday and to be honest I’ll be glad to get home to go to work for a rest!

It is hard on hols all routine can go out the window and yes over stimulation can make it hard to settle down.

Try to just go with the flow Hun don’t worry about it too much and enjoy your hols, this too shall pass and soon be forgotten.

If it’s any consolation DS2 is being very trying at the min, waking at night not going back to sleep unless he sleeps with us and very angry with lots of things...I’m praying it’s a developmental phase.😬🙄😉

Aw hun I know it’s developmental here too, it’s so draining my brain hurts most days.
Oh was so hurtful earlier to me, I’m laying awake whilst he sleeps cos I’m so upset by it. I think I find it hard having anxiety that he thinks should just be cured by now or something. I hate having it but it’s now part of who I am and I worry he doesn’t love me anymore. Sorry I’m offloading other stuff now. I’m sure I will feel better in the morning x

Awhh sorry I was asleep and didn’t see your post. I hope OH is kinder this morning to you, I’m sure he does love you it’s just hard when little ones are demanding. He prob feels left out....sometimes they need your attention. Maybe have a little heart to heart with him!?

Can you let her have a buggy nap or car nap today!? If nights are a bit wonky then sometimes a nap just helps as a one off x

No buggy 😳just got the carrier 🙄
We are only 10 mins from the zoo so doubt she’ll car nap either 😳
Hey ho. Oh is always needy, sometimes I feel like I’m just an object that everyone wants a part of 😔

We had an ok day considering, no major attitude. Just got it after bathtime, opted for slightly earlier bedtime in the hope it helps 🙄😳
Just put her into bed so fingers crossed 😳🤦‍♀️🙄😔

So far so good 🤞less thrashing around than last night. More like her usual settling. She must be knackered tho, she’s pretty much walked the whole of Chester zoo today. My fit bit says I’ve done around 11000 steps so she must have done the same if not more with little legs. No complaint about walking either although we did have lots of stops for photos, her choice not ours, little poser 😂❤️
We did 2 goes on the monorail too which helped I think.
Plus oh seems in a better mood today which also helped. Miserable ****
