Bedtime routine nightmare

Lau • Mommy to a little boy & expecting May 2020

This might be a long post sorry guys,

Our son is 3 years old (4 next month) his going back to full time preschool in September 9 till 3 everyday. I want to start putting him into a routine of going to bed and waking up on time for when he starts in the morning. I’m really struggling to get him to go to bed his going to bed at 10 maybe even 11 if that when I want him asleep for at least 8. Doesn’t really help I work nights every now and then so his with his dad of a night when I am working. I sometimes come home to him in our bed then I have to transfer him into his own. I’d rather him go to bed in his bed and stay in there. We are currently trying for baby number 2 and I can’t have this every night his literally crying and screaming when I tell him it’s time to go bed (we live in a flat so I feel bad for the neighbours) he doesn’t nap during the day hasn’t since he was 2. I’ve tried introducing bed time stories but nothing’s working I’m going mad and loosing my patience.. sorry if this doesn’t really make sense I need help 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️
