DD is trying to kill me

[nursewife]

She keeps waking up during the night, and will only calm down with snuggles in our bed, a bottle, and cartoons. I'm so tired, and we can't keep doing this. I hate listening to her cry and scream though, especially since she shares a room with her twin. I know I should let her CIO, but that pisses off DS. Just kill me, now.

I know I know. For a one year old, she knows how to get what she wants. She is now back in the crib freaking. I'm praying she doesn't wake up DS. He is such a good sleeper for the most part. I'm worried she'll wake him up and he'll start scratching his eczema again.

Put her in a pnp in the hall until she cuts this shit out.

I hate that waking thing. I hate it so much. We've done small things that get us in trouble because of it, so frustrating.

We have no room in our house to do that. Out house is the size of a tooth brush.

Both my kids were crappy sleepers, I don't know what I would have done if they shared a room- so I don't mean this in a judgy way at all - but you need to shut that shit down now. She won't stop on her own- ever- trust me!! It's going to suck- its up to you when it sucks. I'm not saying you have to do full on CIO, but you can't give in to your bed, bottle, cartoons in the middle of the night. Nooo! Your sanity is too important!!

I'm loving that autocorrect did tooth brush instead of shoe box!!

Why wouldn't she scream if she knows that usually you'll give her a bottle and cartoons in your bed! Shut.It.Down.
Let her scream. But stop giving in or it will only get worse. She WILL calm down without those things if she knows they're no longer an option. And think of how much more sleep you'll get if you have a few nights of her screaming, that lead to her not getting up every night for a party. Temporary discomfort for lasting relief.

I'd move DS into your room and let DD CIO in hers.
