Weekends shot to hell

I've been trying really hard all week to get Andy into some sort of sleep pattern. The last couple of days it's only taken him about 3 mins to go to sleep. This morning DH took him and gave Andy breakfast, played with him and put him back to bed so that I could get some more sleep. Suddenly I heard this screaming! DH had put Andy to bed without a boobie. "Oh I didn't know". WHAT???!!! I've only been giving him a boobie before EVERY sleep for 8 months and 20 days!!! So I went in and rescued Andy, boobied him and put him to bed. He is not a happy camper! Besides the lack of boobie thing, everything seems to get shot to hell in the weekend. I guess it's because I don't do everything with Andy as I'm desperate for some sleep. Does this mean than I can never ever have a break??? This seems to happen evvvvvvvvery weekend. Am feeling really angry (not with anyone just with life) as we had made such great sleep progress the last few days now we are back to square one. O M G! Does this happen to you?? DH has now bought Andy down to lounge. Is all sh*t.ty. Great another FUN start to the weekend. You'd think he's the one who hardly gets any sleep!! Right off to start the whole routine again myself and see if that helps. I have the added pressure of trying to make sure that Andy is awake before the inlaws come to visit. When he was little they would ring and if he wasn't up they wouldn't come and vist us and would go and see someone else instead!! Real nice

My weekends always turn crappy as well. So you aren't alone. During the week I always get Daniel into a semi routine then the weekend comes along and it always seems to get turned upside down and he's harder to settle etc. Every single sunday morning I've ended up asleep on the couch with Daniel from being tired from a crap nights sleep and trying to settle him.

oh big hugs!!!

we just spent the last 2.5 hours at botany with the nosy baby who refused to sleep - despite wanting to...too much to see!!! We are now home and she has spent 15 mins cryyng in cot and has finally KOed....

yes i feel your pain...been there done that - stil doing it!! LOL!!!

It does get better honestly. That will be nice having Katherine and Emma rose over next weekend. Have you had a read of the sleep sense thingee. It has some good ideas about getting DH involved too, even if its just to give you relief of 15-20mins

Having more than one, sometimes I feel like Im losing my mind and other times thing just cruise along nicely. BTW believe it of not but babies are easier to reason with than teenagers

No I haven't had a chance to read it yet Kels as DH is going to print it out for me at work. I prefer to read long things printed. Think i really need to! Was just about to say "WOW Andy has gone to sleep already" alas he just started screaming! DH has gone in there to sooth him but I can hear awful singing coming through the monitor and the screams are getting LOUDER!!

I would love ideas on how to get DH involved a bit more. DH gave Andy a bath tonight. When they came out there was heaps of muttering "oh! No nappy made up IS THERE?!" "No PJs are there?! Grumble. Grump....stomp stomp" Grrrr I always lay everything out b4 I run the bath. It's like I have TWO children!

Yeah I can't wait for Katherine and Andy's wife-to-be to come (no pressure or anything!). Haven't seen them since Emma's birthday bash in Feb. Andy gave Emma an engraved bangle for her birthday so that when they get married they'll have this very special momonto of Emmas first b'day.

We will be house bound when Katherine is here as we only have one car seat. But you'd be welcome to come round Becks.

We will arrange something before then Laura (if thats ok Katherine??) times etc.
