I'm the worst mom.

Dd's stomach hurts. I think she just has heart burn and/or indegestion. So I gave her some Tums and sent her back to bed. She's been up approximately 992 times in the last hour asking to either take a shower because the warm water will help her stomach feel better or watch tv because that will help her go to sleep. H made a make shift rice bag for her. I'm getting annoyed and I feel bad that I'm getting annoyed since she doesn't feel good, but omg, just go the fuck to sleep already. That will probably help more than a shower or tv.

Give it to me straight, I suck for beig annoyed, don't I?

No, you don't. My kids use tummy aches to get out of going to sleep and/or as an excuse to sleep in my bed. You've humored her more than I do with mine.

My moms solution for any ache was a bath. "Oh your stomach hurts? Take a bath." "You stubbed your toe? I bet a bath would help!"
I now understand that she did it so we would just go away, and it worked. So I vote bath. Throw some lavender scented stuff in there and hopefully she will be sleepy when she gets out.

I think she's finally asleep. It's been quiet down there for 20 minutes or so.

No, I'm with you. DD will weasel any excuse not to be sleeping/harassing me and DH if we let her. Not sleeping just makes her feel worse and harder to deal with.

I'd think the same thing. Go back to sleep. I'd feel bad if he's was barfing in the morning, but not til then.

At 3 am a few weeks ago he was crying and having a fit because back up lion has a nice fluffy mane and he wanted original lion to have a nice mane like him instead of the matted hair acquired from years of love and cycles through the wash machine. He was so distressed we thought he was hurt and it took 5 minutes to figure out what he was talking about. Wtf he's six!
