Riddle me this...

I don't think that I spoil DS but he certainly throws more tantrums when I am around. I don't give in to him but he is more persistant than with other people. I think we are high value and that is why they always want to be awake around us Plus they are always better behaved for other people.

I think they're more likely to push boundaries with those they trust most.

DD climbed into bed and went to sleep at daycare last week while her carer was preparing a younger child for his nap. At home I have to lie down with her and wait until she's deeply enough asleep to sneak out.

and to add more salt to the wound... he didn't wake at all during the night and wasn't up til 7.15!! 6 is a sleep in, in my house! Gaaawwwsshhhh!!!

Testing the waters and pushing the boundaries. He is probably into the routine of how you put him to bed and into the routine of how your Mum puts him to bed. She has probably done it the same way since he started to have sleep overs and he just goes with the flow

Yep, Pie was exactly the same. She used to have three different sleep routines depending on whether she was at FDC (bed, with bottle & dummy, on rare occasions a pat) or at LDC (mat, no bottle, no dummy, no tears!) or home - bottle, dummy, blanket & favourite toys, me or DH lying down with her & waiting for her to go to sleep

These days she still varies, depending on who it is & where she is. She's better for me than DH because I am a bit firmer about when playtime is over. She's only in LDC now & still goes down with no bottle or dummy, but we aren't game enough to try it here at home.
