I think it's perfectly fine to have a whinge about lack of sleep - it's bloody awful! Let's not pretend it's anything out of the ordinary though - the babies that sleep through from 3 months are very much in the minority (you lucky ducks!).
Same Meow. DS would sleep if all the stars were in alignment with Jupiter (or something), but otherwise... certainly wasn't anything to do with me. In fact I think he must have inherited his crappy sleep from his father
Both my children don't sleep through the night, which I actually think is probably more the norm than the exception. But IMO talking about the problem may help a person come up with a solution. After a horror night last night - up from 1am till 5:20am this morning with DS then up at 7:00am with DD (this was after them both being up and down earlier in the evening). I am tired, cranky and wanting to change the situation. I have found in the past that talking about it, sometimes gives you a chance to think about possibly why your child is waking. Sleep deprivation is a form of torture. Yes, I choose not to close the door on my kids and let them scream so they don't disturb me, but it still p!!!! me off being so tired I can barley function the next day.
So I guess what i am trying to say is that when we talk about a problem, especially with other people who have gone/ are going through it, a solution or another option may present itself. And hey, why can't we all vent once in a while to those we consider may understand. I certainly I have to listen to many people who work office jobs complain about the same office politics happenings, its human nature.
