You could respond with "if i tell you to shove that advice will you go away and cry yourself to sleep?" Sorry, no sleep last night

I was thinking "i wish there was an answer that involved me staying in bed" between 3am and 5am this morning when my little sweetie, who has a cold, was crying and getting me up every 10 minutes. But there wasn't one. I just kept doing it and taking deep breaths so as not to get annoyed and eventually she got to sleep. Little kids need us when they need us, regardless of the hour.

When people ask if she's a "good" baby/child i either so "Yes, she's brilliant" or "no, i'm going to drown her in the bath tonight". You could try, with the CC "no, i don't like it when DH makes me cry on my own for hours" or "No, i don't like making any members of my family cry indefinitely" or "yes, i'll try that, if he's not crying, do i hit him to MAKE him cry so he can sleep?" or the truth - "i cannot see how him crying and me lying listening to him crying will get us more sleep than we have now".
