I really had no clue where was best for this, but didn't see the point in 2 seperate threads.

I've had enough. I need help with both DD3 & DS.


I want to wean DD. She's nearly 2 & after almost 6 weeks of being sick & clingy & feeding constantly, I've just had enough. I wake up in pain (SPD) just from the positions I lay in while feeding her during the night. It can go on for hours. The only nights it plays up are the nights she feeds more than usual.

I have no support though. I've thought of asking mum to come stay for a few days & see if she'll help me, but lately the few times I've asked her for a bit of time out, I've been shut down. So I'm not sure she would or not (even though 3 months ago she told me I should be ashamed of myself to still be feeding her )

When she's finally over this bug I want her off. I noticed today she wasn't so keen on the taste of snot on them while feeding... but I'm not going there Would consider putting something else on them though...


DS. I want him out of my bed. DD1 & 2 share a room & I have DS & DD3 together. But he's scared to be in there. I don't know why. He freaks over the littlest things, no matter what I do to reassure him. A mouse running through the house will have him SCREAMING blue murder. NOT an exaggeration! He lays in bed & listens, overly paranoid, & the slightest movement/sound has him freaking out & screaming.

He has a lamp. Glow in the dark stars. I've offered leaving the light on. He won't sleep unless I'm in there. I really don't mind that, but if he wakes through the night & I'm not still in there he gets upset. He can't be in my bed. He sleeps sideways & ends up kicking DD. I've thought about changing the rooms around, but I don't know how to work it better. 2 sets of bunks, 3 kids all wanting to be on the top one He's been wanting the top bunk for 2 years now, he's finally got it, so I thought this would be easier.

He's not scared of monsters, or aliens, or anything else a kid is usually scared of. Not 'something'. He's just scared/paranoid... about anything. The unknown I guess. I really don't know why, or what to do about it.


I need sleep. I need a break. I'm exhausted & have been for months because I'm not getting enough sleep. The last week has just pushed me over the edge. DD3 vomitting & diarrhea for a week tomorrow (worse overnight), plus a chest infection that took 3 types of ABs over 4 weeks to clear & now DS has been asleep all day (literally) with a 38.8 fever.

Any idea's/suggestions anyone has would be much appreciated!

I wish I wasn't alone right now...
