I need to scream somewhere

[gibbinator]

Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh

I've got a big turkey dinner to prepare and of course I've spent the last fucking 2hrs trying to get ds to nap. He's so overtired now he'll probably only nap for 15-20 mins which is going to make him a a fucking peach this afternoon.

He needed his goddamn morning nap because he's not going to sleep once guests get here. I'm so mad I'm literally trying not to cry. At least dh knows how to prepare a turkey.

There's no point to this vent besides needing to unload somewhere other than onto dh.

Hugs. Is it too early for wine?

Nap dust sent your way.

We went through this Christmas Eve. I hope it works out better for you.

I and totally think its okay to add some baileys to your coffee ☕🍸

That is so rough! Fx he gets some sleep!

[bunch]

Boo. Forget you, give him the wine? Good luck!

I second the wine suggestion. Good luck!

[gibbinator]

Loving the drinking suggestions. I may do that when I'm done nursing again. I can't believe how stressful today is becoming.

[MadamePresident]

Can you wear him? That might help him nap and give you the ability to still get things ready.

Ugh, I'm sorry. DS is almost the same age as yours and the bad days are unbearable.

[dcn]

Oh no I'm sorry! I ditto the wine and the ergo or moby suggestions if he'll tolerate it!

[gibbinator]

He's not one to enjoy being worn when he's irritable. It just makes him cry more.

According to dh who just came back from a 45 min drive, ds cried the whole time. Now dinner is being served now and I'm upstairs trying to nurse an hysterical baby to sleep. I'm really not catching any breaks. :-(

One of my friends just brought me Go The Fuck To Sleep. Awesome timing lol

[whitepicketfence]

Ugh, I'm so sorry. My kids would always have days like that when I really needed them to sleep.

Rough day. Sure hope he sleeps well tonight.

[gibbinator]

Well he conked out for bed easily enough and slept the best stretch of sleep in the last 2 weeks (a whole 3.5hrs sob) but it at least gave me the chance to enjoy the end of the evening with a few glasses of wine and a riotous game of cards against humanity

@starry: I hope your sleep remains generally uninterrupted. This unending sleep regression is a bitch
