We threw away our chupetes yesterday and all hell has broken loose. It took forever to go to sleep last night and I just quit trying to make them nap after an hour of BULLSHIT. They were falling asleep on our way home and do anything but stay in their beds, even as I sit and guard them. There is singing, playing, jumping, laughing, turning on lights... it is truly a miracle that more people do not beat their children. It is enough to drive a saint to drink and I am far from a saint. So they will be grumpy this afternoon and tired tonight and I have thrown away 3 hours of my life accomplishing nothing in just the past day. I actually could not care less if they are tired tonight as I will not be putting them to sleep. Oh what a joy. I wonder what life would be like if I had a single kid who respected me.
PS L put them to bed in 5 minutes- the cherry on the cake!
sorry for the rough night. patience! they are still learning.
