I dunno, when I was crazy sleep deprived with my first son sleep was ALL I could think & talk about so I complained a fair bit. I just wanted a sympathetic ear though as I had no intention of 'doing something about it'. I know some mums in my mother's group didn't like hearing from me because they felt like you but I think women should be able to talk honestly about hard the lack of sleep can be without being expected to try and 'fix it' and sleep train their child.
Totally agree here lol, DD was a crap sleeper but nowhere near as bad as DS. I whinge and complain about it all the time but once its out of my system im back to normal i just need to whinge and vent to get on with things. I wont do anything to fix it because it would mean even less sleep than im getting now so im happy to just complain and plod along i know one day there sleep gets better DD is a great sleeper now!
