yeah, sassy, IKWYM!! I made it DP's job to put Aadi to sleep now. I whinge to him by text message all day when it's really rough (like yesterday) then make sure that DS is bathed, fed and ready for gentle play and wind down before sleep when DP gets home. DP is really proud of himself now because he can put him to sleep without too much fuss, but he thinks I'm bunging it on when I have had nothing but trouble all day trying to get Aadi down for a nap. I just showed him the bruises from where Aadi kicks me. I've often shouted at him tho, when Aadi's puking everywhere or being a little horror and I just need a hand. He gets up me for shouting but it's so frustrating and I've told him so many times not to rack off at bedtime, so now it's just his job. He's been reading "The No-Cry Sleep Solution" on the train on the way to work!!
You could try the sleep school, but Bec's right, it can take ages to get an appointment or even a consultation. I can't offer any suggestions, coz I can't get my kid to stop fighting sleep. Yesterday he fought sleep and skipped his morning nap. By 11 he was exhausted but still fighting it. I took him out for a long walk but he didn't sleep till 12pm, then only for 50 minutes. He woke up screaming, and didn't stop or really calm down until 5 when he collapsed in a heap and slept for maybe an hour. By then DP was home, and he was a perfect little angel. GRRRRR!!!!

Abb - How was your BB meet-up? I hope we can catch up at the one in June or whenever!
