My hubby also worked on the oil rig with my second pregnancy so I def know about being alone. But I would still start setting a bed routine now & potty training if not already done.  Anything you can do before the baby gets here. Plus, it will make living together much easier.  Sometimes you have to compromise how you raise your kids when you're in a relationship with someone who is not the father. You don't want parenting differences to clash & bring arguments.  Have a sit down & both talk about how each others parenting style & compromise. Find a happy medium.  Hope this helps you

Your not a bad mom, my almost 3 year old was allowed to sleep whenever when it was just her. But once the baby came,  it was necessary to give them both a routine at night,  for my peace! Lol so I would suggest starting a bed routine now before baby comes. I do baths @ 8 30, & Bed Time by 9 30. She wakes up around 8am so it gives me & hubby time to unwind alone & you'll thank yourself for it in the long run.  Trust me

Try calming things before bed both have a warm bath and dit and watch a film before bed sit her in her bedroom and read her a story give her a drink of warm milk make the house a calming environment before bed you will find it makes a difference

It is better for children to get them into a routine 2am is really late for a young child its better to start routine now before they start school otherwise you'll have a big fight on your hands you also may find it will  help you sleep better by having a routine x
