I love my LO so much and often bend over backwards to make him happy, but even when we have healthy boundaries he loves to push it (give an inch he takes a mile situation). I know this is normal, but I always have terrible mom guilt when I try to be firm. Lately he has been dragging out bedtime by throwing his blanket off of him the minute we walk out of the room. We go back in and tuck him in again and then watch him on the monitor as he throws it off and cries for us. Tonight I warned him I was only replacing the blanket once and held the boundary. He threw a massive ~20 minute fit. I kept going in to comfort him and reassure him I was there but didn't replace the blanket. After his tantrum, he pulled the blanket on himself and went to sleep. Sigh. I always feel SO BAD. But I was with him doing crafts and fun things all day, I need bedtime to not turn into an hour long battle. Anyone else feel guilt when holding a health boundary?
