    Do you have a routine before bed that she knows and you follow each night? So a really good wind down if shes really hyped up, bath, milk, story and then bed or something like that? Our routine is the same every night no matter where we are and the kids know it so well now they know what is coming. DD still plays up at times but they know that bed means bed and that's it.

    Aw no, you're not a failure!
    Your DS is probably just going through a phase, they happen every now and then. Just try and ride it out. If having a baby that doesn't sleep during the day makes you a failure as a parent, then you're in very esteemed (and crowded) company.
    Has your DD been worse since DS came along...? It is truly infuriating when they say no to everything.
