It's 2:30 am right now and I've been up since 1. My 16 month old wakes up and won't go back to sleep without being held. There was a time when it wouldn't take too long, but now he wakes back up when I put him in the crib so it takes about 3 times on average before he actually stays asleep. I get so frustrated that I get mad at him, then I always end up feeling like a jerk who doesn't care about her main reason for existing. I hate myself when I get frustrated, but it's every night and I'm sick of not getting enough sleep. I'm tired physically and I'm tired of feeling worthless and helpless. Anyone felt like this beforewith your kids? How did you deal with it?
