I think we need to start setting more limits (though attempts to do that tonight led to her laying in there and sobbing...) I think we just need to say that one of us can come in x number of times, then that's it (unless, of course, she's sick or hurt or something).
Once I'm sure youngest is fine I say "that's it, I'm not coming up again, see you in the morning," and if he shouts "mum" again after that (Which of course he does) I just don't immediately answer. He's free to come downstairs if it is something serious but more often than not it is just habit.
Thanks for this!
