Losing It Rant

My 21 month old son has been so clingy lately for a week now he will not let me put him down in his crib. He will be sleepy at bedtime or nap time, rest his head on my shoulder but the second I try to put him down as usual he starts clinging to me for dear life and screaming his head off. When my husband does it my son goes to sleep no problem. My husband is working tonight and I went to put my son down as usual after bedtime routine and he’s been standing and screaming in his crib for almost an hour now. Relentless! Other things I’ve tried this past week have been laying down with him on the couch, laying down with him in our bed, reclining in a rocking chair with him asleep on me, but he just gets up when I do that. He only wants me holding him while I’m standing up. I’m at my wits end. After being up with him from his first waking hour today and having another day where I didn’t get a single thing done that I wanted to and now this I’m losing it. My husband doesn’t get home from work until 3:30am. It’s 8pm here. Losing it 😣

Now I know it has to do with him not feeling well. He’s had a fever for a couple days, we’ve already been to the docs, started him on antibiotics today for ear infections, HOWEVER, like I said, he lets my husband put him to sleep and will lay down in his crib no problem when it’s my husband doing it. He has no fever at the moment and was in great spirits at bed time. All hell only breaks loose when I try to put him in crib.
