lack of 1 on 1 time and unsettled at bedtime

[Olive]

so i was wondering if its possible that lack of one on one time for my DD2 (2)during the day can cause her to be unsettled at night/bedtime.
i didnt spend much time playing with her today (my bad i know, i feel crap about it) as i was busy (no excuse i know) doing other stuff. she was terrible tonight..took an hour to go to sleep.
so could it be this or am i clutching at straws??

i definately see a difference in DS when he has less play with mummy and daddy time even tonite he was a pain

Hun you know your a wonderful mummy and you do the best you can, its not always possible to do everything and sometimes the kids do miss out on a little time

I think it can be related, delaying and misbehaving at bedtime is what DD does when she doesn't see Daddy OR If she is having a Daddy Day and I don't spend half the day with her.

HTH x x x

hun kids are so resilant- it doesnt seem to matter here how much one on one time i have with DS2- he never goes down early !! LOL
although DS2 wont go down till the older ones are asleep and until after he has done a poo lol
sleep or lack of a sleep during the day only makes a slight difference either
its just kids being kids!

Yeah, maybe. But then sometimes these things are just random.

could also be because DH wasnt home tonight and she was probably overtired from only a 35 min sleep today

yep, that'd do it too
