This is a little bit more hardcore, but if he’s playing you it’s time to show him who’s really in charge! And then this morning, when the housekeeper came in to wake me up and bring me my morning coffee, I really snarled at her.

The poor little dear thought it would be a good idea to throw a huge tantrum before bed, Mama was NOT going to put up with that and promptly put her little boy over her lap, tugged up his nightshirt and took a spoon to his little hide.

After we agree on the plan, you’ll spend two weeks implementing it with my guidance and encouragement throughout the process. We eventually go in and spank her and then she lays down but it feels wrong to associate sleep with getting spanking and being in trouble. If she wakes in the night go back in and sit in the same place after a very brief kiss and reminder that it’s time for sleep. When I threaten to leave I go sit outside bedroom door and hold it shut (he gets traumatized if locked or safety knob inside I don’t like that for him).

Oh I remember when I had to spank my brother Lucas for spilling chocolate milk on me while I was asleep and let me tell you, I spanked him enough to where he slept on his stomach the rest of the night. That said, we also feel like he’s come to the realization that getting out of bed is what actually gets us back into his room. Not that she’d ever act on it with Charlie — she was monogamous, and he wasn’t a woman — but she appreciated the tingling and heat between her thighs as her arousal grew. y/o daughter is insistent someone lay by her and that she can watch ~15 minutes of some program before she thrashes and whines her way to sleep.

I look forward to his bedtime because I'm tired myself at that point and I end up snapping; last night DH actually gave him a spanking on the fourth time, after warning him that he'll get it if he comes back out. I am having the same issue as Mo except for the going in and sleeping in a chair or giving her a bottle. You're not helping him fall asleep if you're in there spanking him and you're just harboring resentment about your "sacrifice" of staying in there with him (as if he has any concept of that.

With the correct mindset and expectations, you could have seen through his antics and remained calm, consistent and patient. Since she’s afraid, I would opt for being with her as she falls asleep until she gains confidence to sleep on her own. Bedtimes recently have been nightmarish - we try to stick to a routine but there is always a 50/50 chance it will devolve into mom and daughter yelling/crying at each other from 7:30-8:45 until they both pass out from exhaustion.Living on a large property - if they did not want to go to sleep at that moment - I took the time and took them outside to walk about and talk. Hi there – I know this is an old post but I would love to know if I’m this ‘up the anty’ situation – once you’ve had to put up the gate, so you come to him when he gets out of bed or do you stay out is sight and leave him to cry?
