I need a fucking reality check moms. Am I fucking crazy?? My dude just turned 3. We potty trained a few weeks before, and he’s doing awesome except he wants to go every 5 minutes in the middle of the night and he’s scream crying like an infant. Fine, we’ll move out of the crib to a bed so you can have a potty. Suddenly the room is “scary”. Also the infant scream cry is far less endearing coming from a toddler. I want to fucking rip my ears off. We haven’t slept through the night in a month. We take 2 hours to stop crying at night. We’ve napped maybe 5 times all month. He’s fucking delirious and exhausted constantly. I’m so fucking over all of this I feel like I have a newborn again.

From what I can see he has all his teeth. No other major changes. He’s not sick. We just had his 3 year check. He doesn’t watch scary tv. Nothing bad has happened. I try to make bedtime affectionate, calming, soothing, an hour fucking long. I can not do it guys. And my husband is even worse. I had to send him away to do sleep training at 9 months and I did it again tonight, but uh, it’s way fucking harder now. They have words and tell you shit you can’t back away from. It used to be so easy. I’m just drinking wine in my stairwell listening to his howling begging life to go back to normal.
