I have a toddler about the same age as yours and she's never slept great. I know it can be a struggle. Sometimes I feel like I look forward to her going to bed so I can have time for myself (until she wakes up which she usually does before I go to bed). But when I put her down I end up missing her shortly there after and not knowing what to do with myself.

For me one or the challenging things about being a parent is just having to schedule everything and do things at the proper times. I've always been kind of a "go with the flow" person, which in some ways is good when you have a toddler but in other ways it makes things harder. Like only being able to do certain things while she is asleep or if we get a babysitter.

Do you have any help in the form of a husband or boyfriend? Or are you a single mom?
