Believe me Rach, I've considered letting him watch tv in the loungeroom until he falls asleep - less whinging that way.. and we have done it on occasion, just to stop the arguments.

We do walk out if he's stuffing around, and he just comes out, and then tells us that he needs one of us to fall asleep with him, but then we go in there, and he won't even TRY to go to sleep - thats what makes us furious, that he doesn't even TRY to go to sleep. Just lays there with his eyes open.. arghhh!!!

He doesn't have day naps anymore, not since he was 2. He sometimes falls asleep in the car for about 10 minutes, but he's a nightmare to get to bed, whether he has had that time or not.

Anyone want to adopt a 3.5 year old? He's smart - just not very obedient...
