| If you are anything like me in my younger days i had | | | | turns into 2 and so on.My youngest son was 5 Years |
| 3 children under the age of 8.My husband worked | | | | old, he would not go to bed until I did, as he was |
| nights and I was left "holding the baby" as it were.It | | | | "really spoilt".These days we live busy lifestyles I bet |
| was so easy to have small children under your feet | | | | you agreee it's anything for a quiet life, for peace |
| and say at nightime when you are so tired oh just | | | | and quiet.Saying "yes" or "oh go on then" just once |
| get in my bed but well! did I pay for it. If there was | | | | lets your guard down especially at your weakest |
| any advice I could give to parents now looking back | | | | point Tiredness!. |
| it's pluck up the courage,find the strength to say | | | | If you have a partner you both have to agree on |
| "bedtime" and take them back to bed.Stick to your | | | | terms. its no use one saying yes and the other |
| guns.You are the parent! you are the adult who | | | | saying no,the children will play you up against each |
| knows what is best for them!. Don't be a push | | | | other.if you ever watch a tv programme called Super |
| over!.Don't let them walk all over you!. they are not | | | | nanny one parent took a child back to bed approx 50 |
| the responsible parent You are! | | | | times in one night.Its all about Perseverance.Don't |
| Don't let them keep coming downstairs saying "I | | | | give in send them back to their own bed and then at |
| need","I want","Can I have. Its all just a time wasting | | | | the end of the day you can relax in your own bed |
| excersise to get your attention and before you | | | | saying ahhhhh peace at last and mean it! |
| know it you give in to them one night then one night | | | | Then you can get a good nights sleep. |
