Really Considering Calling DCM at this Point

[Breezy]

DCG-10 months was up for the day at 1am. Took a 2 hour nap when she got here and if now up and doesnt know what to do with herself. She is screaming to the point of being red faced and hoarse. I had to put her in the super gate hexagon thing because all she would do is hang on me and DS and scream. She has plenty of toys in there but is just standing up screaming. She hates being isolated from us in the first place but my DS needed a break from her screaming in his ear.

I had to close the windows and turn the air on because it was so bad and I didnt want to bug the neighbors. Ds is miserable and crying and whining because he cant take it. I really want to call DCM and tell her she needs to pick her up.

If that's where your heading because of family visiting, you might as well get that ball rolling now!

That post about family visiting is about a different DCK that I hadnt even started with yet. This is my PT screamer who is 100 timea worse today than normal. Temp is 99.6 so not excludable. Must be just exhausted from being up at 1am.

Is this your second-shifter?! Oh my goodness. That needs to stop now! I get that transition can be tough, but if the child gets up at 1am, that is NOT ok. She has to be on YOUR schedule or this is just not going to work.

If you don't send dcg home, at least call mom and talk to her about what it's going to take to make this work. If you just can't handle it, then send her home.

Ok I see your new post, well I still say call dcm and talk to her about how getting up at 1 am has affected dcg and that is can't happen again.

No, I never started with the second shifter. He was due to start on June 4th but I decided against it because of family visiting and the hours.

This is my DCG who has been here since November and is my screamer all the live long day. Doesnt allow me to put her down or even stop looking at her.

Do you ignore her when she screams? Not being cruel or anything, but trying to train her to be ok with herself?

But to the original question, if this is really that bad, then at least call dcm and tell her how miserable dcg is. Get dcm to see what happens when her baby gets up at 1am.

I say call mom. Some days it just doesn't work. You have to do what;s best for all the children not just one.

I do ignore it to a point but I cant for too long because it breaks my heart.

She is SLEEPING AGAIN!!! Woooo. The Jehovahs Witnesses are out in my neighborhood going door to door. I really hope they dont knock here!!

I texted mom and said she is miserable and has been nonstop screaming since waking up. I then said she is asleep now again and she said "easy day for you then...." Ha, um yeah. So easy. She may be aleepif now but that means no outside time which means we are cooped up in here all day

Why oh why do you let your child stay up at 1am and play??
