Feeling like I really can't do this today! I'm really losing my patience with these kids.
I have a 3 year old that doesn't nap at home and comes part time. She refuses to lay down and be quiet during nap time and is distracting/keeping my other kids awake. We started nap around 1pm today and after an hour of fighting (lots of crying and putting kids back down on blanket multiple times) I finally have 2 kids sleeping at 2pm and 2 still awake. I have tried putting her in another room to sit quietly and look at a book - it doesn't work, she won't stay put. Or stay quiet. Constantly talking or asking for something.
My other kids all need naps or they are miserable. Any suggestions?! I can use any help I can get! I'm ready to tell her mother she can't come again, but I feel like I'm overreacting because she's not a bad child aside from this. I am so frustrated right now though.
