Yeah, so the adult that I am, just had a massive tantrum and hid in my room while I made DF deal with the baby.

we had a 3 HOUR tantrum to get to sleep for a nap today. Then she started again at bedtime. I just want to hibernate and not come out. My stupid head is spinning, I feel sick, and I have had it up to my freaking eyeballs with the damn screaming.

maybe it's a good idea that you are hiding then? Hubby can deal with your devil baby so you can get your head straight. Good Luck.

** Devil baby was tongue in cheek** Just in case that didn't come across well in text

Can you try something else? Just a cuddle or a feed?

Uh don't feel bad, if DH is home I often get him to settle DS after I've been trying for only half an hour.

The frustration when they won't go to sleep is awful I know.

You changed your name again! lol Im finding it hard to keep up with you hehe

Aww sweet heart, I have no advice.....What we have to do with R sometimes if she doesnt fall asleep on our lap drinking her milk is we lay her in her cot with a teddy and then we lay on the spare bed where she can see us (its in her room) and pretend to sleep also (we usually just actually fall asleep) and she usuallly dozes off nicely while she can see us there....and i get in an extra nap hehe

(just woke up from there half an hour ago actually)

I've gone and hid before too. Once hubby and I both hid. Not our best parenting moment but we were found after 90 seconds, probably due to me telling hubby to man up and deal with it instead of hiding like me.

Been there, done that - several times.
Don't feel bad, sometimes you just need a bit of space and it's good you got your df to step in so you could have a moment.

Don't feel bad everybody needs time out. My getaway is sterilising bottles while DH takes DS for an hour or so. You just need that bit of time to breathe, I go through the same thing every afternoon (DS has reflux and serious wind problems) So I know exactley how you feel. Just take a minute to chill out and know that we're all here to vent if you need it

Just don't feel bad, its what we all need

If it makes you feel any better I have had a shocker of a day with the kids!!!!!!!!
I ended up leaving them at home with DH while I went shopping in peace!!
Bloody kids

I think most of us have handed the kidlets over to a partner to deal at one point or another.

I once rang DH at work and asked him to come home to settle DS cos I wasn't coping.
