Every Morning Screaming

[canadiancare]

I do have a mom who parents in a similar fashion. I did family bed with my kids BUT I also did home daycare so no one else was trying to deal with my parenting style but me.

It is almost impossible to parent in an attachment way AND drop your kid off at daycare for 10 hours a day without something needing to give.

Yikes @ 1.5 hours. Yikes at 11pm bedtime. YIKES.

Dck is obviously in charge at home, and is probably frustrated at letting go of that control when coming to your house.


I would lay him down for an AM nap, cry or not, he obviously needs a rest.

Holy Moly daycare, if Play Care has the twin to this boy..I have the triplet! :-) My 3.5 yo dcb rules the roost at his house. They put him to bed when he's "ready" and sometimes that means 1 or 2 am !!!!!!! Monday's when they drop him off at 7am screaming, he goes right back to bed and I let him sleep until he wakes. Sometimes that is not until noon...honestly.

I have tried keeping the boy up, but he will cry for HOURS....and his sleeping routine doesn't change if I keep him awake. They will give him a nap at 4:30 when they pick him up!!!! So...for now, I have the easiest job ever. 1 boy, who sleeps till noon most days, is picked up at 4 - 4:30, and I get paid for him to sleep. Fine. I'm not fighting it anymore :-)

I would lay the child down and completely ignore until he stops. COMPLETELY ignore. It sounds like he thinks you will eventually give in, as that is what his parents do. And I would never give up nap time at your house...
