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.
