WOH and sleeping issues
| Sun, 05-22-2005 - 10:34am |
We were at a dinner party last night at the home of one of dh's coworkers. They have 2 boys, 6 and 4. They have a bunch of sleeping issues (kids 'scared' at night, won't fall asleep in their own bed, won't go to bed without mom or dad cuddling them, etc.) The mom blames herself because since she works all day and misses them so much she tends to cuddle with them late at night and they fall asleep in a pile on the bed all together. She said that if she SAH, they wouldn't have the same issues.
I sah. For us, bed time is a rigid, welcome respite at the end of the day. Dh has no desire to keep them up either, lol.

No problem - it's been nuts with no childcare, boss on vacation, ILs in town, etc., etc., etc.
Thanks.

Thanks - it was a wonderful day surrounded by family and friends (NO work, lol!)

It upsets me emotionally, sometimes very much, to hear my child cry - especially if it's hard.

Quite telling in what way? If you stop and think about it, any negatives I can come up with regarding woh ft have to do with things like trying to juggle childcare and family life. Things that would be negatives for my children. I dont see woh in itself as a negative, nor would I see it as a personal negative if I chose to woh ft (and gee, most people would consider going to school pt and working pt as pretty much equaling ft hours....)

Well, congratulations, you are not the control freak I am.
