I don't really know that I expect any help at this point with my son, I just need a place to vent. (For some reason since the app update, I can't break my posts into paragraphs, so I apologize for the wall of text.) So as you may or may not remember, we sleep trained my son a couple weeks ago and he is finally going in his crib. Yay! That in and of itself is progress. For about a week he seemed to be taking it well and learning to sleep, but... Now for the last ten days or so, he has decided he HATES sleeping. He doesn't want to nap, he doesn't want to go to bed at night. Whenever he wakes up at night, he will not lie down and go back to sleep unless someone comes into the room and holds his hand or touches his chest. He expects you to stay there the entire time he falls asleep and for about ten minutes after. The second be stirs even a little bit, he will stand up in his crib and scream. Not cry, SCREAM and growl. He's getting up 6+ times a night. When I finally get so tired I give up and bring him in bed with us, he flops, jerks and whines the remainder of the night. During the day, he fights me over EVERYTHING. Diaper changes, eating, etc. He's started biting me. I. Can. Not. Take. It. Anymore. I am so exhausted and I know he is too. I am so sleep deprived that I have little to no patience. I get angry at the drop of a hat. I just want to scream at him to go to sleep. I want to get in the car and leave. I feel like a horrible mother. I've tried so many routines and techniques and nothing has worked. I feel like I'm going to go insane. I love my son, I would die for him, but I'm so tired that I'm starting to feel resentful of him. I feel like the only thing left is to just put him in his crib and not come back at all, but I'm afraid he'll actually be hungry or dirty or something and I'll be ignoring him. Mamas, please tell me I'm not a monster. I'm so tired of this battle that I find myself not even wanting to be around my son anymore. I feel like I'm the worst parent and like I shouldn't have been a mother. I don't know what to do. I'm hitting my limit.
