Hi guys, I've been gone for awhile, but just got myself back on finally! I've missed you all!
I have an issue. I have an 11 month old (12 months in a couple of weeks). I have him 3 days a week from 8:00 to 4:45. I've had him since he was born. He has never slept all night and is up several times a night. He wants to sleep here all day. When he was just an infant I let him sleep whenever he wants. Now that he's almost a year, I've tried to get rid of morning nap and having him lay down with the other kids from 1 to 3:30/4:00. Mom keeps telling me how bad he is at night and how at midnight, 2:00, 3:00 or whatever time, they put him in the car and drive him around to get him to sleep and then let him sleep the rest of the night in the carseat in the living room while they sleep. Grandma has him the other 2 days and she's trying to get him away from the morning nap and just take an afternoon nap too. Like I said, this has been a problem with him up all night since he was born. So I just got back from vacation and he came 2 days. He came today and mom said he was good all week except the last day he came here, he was up at 3:00 am and they had to drive around town. So I guess it was my fault that he slept 3 hours on Tuesday.
So I texted mom to get clarification on some things. She said grandma lets him go to sleep at 1 and wakes him after 2 hours. So she wants me to wake him up after 2 hours, but yet texts me that on the weekend if he's screaming in the morning, she lets him sleep 1 hour and then two-three in the afternoon. So she can let him sleep 3 to 4 hours a day but I"m supposed to wake him after 2 hours? Are you getting that idea? I told him he has to sleep tonight or I will get blamed for it right in front of mom. I know passive agressive, but I hate that they're trying to blame their bad decisions on mine. So they let him rule the house during the night and I'm supposed to deal with him screaming during the day? What would you do other than term?
