sorry for the rant . needed to vent.

My daughter is driving me crazy.  I know she was off her schedule for the holidays.  But I think she's just acting up.  She refuses to sleep,  she scream when put in her bed,  she won't sleep in our bed she just want to be playing all the time.  I swear she does it on purpose.  No matter how tired she is as soon as I put her down for bed she scream bloody murder.  I can't take!  Doesn't help that she's refusing to take her bottle,  which used to help her sleep.  We cant sleep here anymore.  She wakes up around 2 or 3 and is non stop screaming after that,  I'm trying to not give in and just let her stay up but I'm patience is running very low. Mostly cuz I know she's just dping it on purpose,  she would scream very loud lije something is wrong I'll go get her and try to sooth her and as soon as she's out of her bed ahe got huge smiles. Its 630 here and she's still crying since 4 that she woke up. Her dad has to go work a 12hr shift now on poor sleep , just cuz she think it's cute to scream  like someone is killing her.

Most parents would not agree with me but a good spanking is in order. Put her in her room shut the door turn off all lights and make her sleep. My kids still had normal bedtime even though school was out to keep them on schedule and me too. I hope it gets better for you just dont give in

[Sergia]

Lol,  no disagreement here I just feel bad cuz I think she's acting up cuz she feel jr coming soon. . But if you here the way she scream,  Lord have mercy,  I'm lucky the neighbors know me and her otherwise I'm sure someone would've called the cops on me.   I think her NY resolution was to be as bad as she can.  Last night I turned her night light off only reason she slept till 4 otherwise she would've been up by 2. .

@Jacesndkhimommy
I completely agree with you 100%
sounds like her hide needs a good tanning.
Sorry but she needs to learn to shut her mouth quit screaming and go to sleep. I know kids will be kids but what your telling us is completely uncalled for

[YoungLadyDay14]

How old is ur daughter? & how far along are you? She is definitely acting out bcuz she senses the world is not going to revolve around her anymore.

[Sergia]

She's 15months  amd I'm 38wks. This suck she was always such a great sleeper!  Now night time are a misery in this house and it just started at the beginning of the month!

Lmbo. My two year old had a tantrum streak inthe beginning of my pregnancy because of the baby and oh boy he tried to give me hell. Well the first 10 times (which was to many) I let him slide but one day he caught me on a good day too. He fell out and screamed and stomped his feet and folded his arms and I got his mouth his butt his feet and his arms and he has never done it again. I come to realize that they understand when you click out just dont click for real we do not want to hurt the kiddies. Lol. But my kids had to learn the stern way. I would and will discipline them and go in my room and cry because it hurts me but it makes them better kids in the end. My biggest fear is my child in trouble and everything im between.  Believe me she will try you as much as possible but you need to give her that mommy look with that mommy voice and right after that when she say she is not going to do it give her that I love you but I have to do this spanking

My son (now 4) has always been a terrible sleeper :( its so hard it wen ur running on empty!! Ur daughter is still quite young herself so prob just goin thro a fase but yea u need to get her to realise she is not in charge u r!! I find If I take my boy out to play ball or walk the dog or play a bord game he becomes naturally tired & more willing to 'give in' dont get me wrong he has has a few smacks lol but just sum thing diff to try out :) good luck hope she stops soon!!

Well personally I wouldn't be spanking a 15 month old, especially considering that you're trying to make little one STOP crying. I agree she's being super ornery! Can you cuddle up with her for a few nights or so? Holidays are super exciting and kids are hard to calm down.
Also, I don't think this works for everybody, but if she cries for a long time, try to burp her. I've only seen it work for two babies, but it just knocked them out cold.
Good luck!

My son screams the same way. I call it the horror movie shrill and I am just lucky we have windows left. I just had to learn that he just doesn't want to be alone or go to bed. I just follow the same routine no variable no matter what. Brush teeth, change diaper,2 books, lights out, wait for eyes to adjust, kiss hug and then I love you and I go... he started out screaming for 2 hours (the first week I went in after ten minutes, then 15, until I realized I was the problem). Now he scream 2-3 min and he stops and in camera he goes t o ned about 30 min later.

Dont spank that young, they dont understand that. Their minds are so innocent. You have to try to be understanding to the fact that she cant communicate and tell you whats wrong or what she wants, so naturally thats frustrating for you. So thats how she communicates right now. You have probably answered her so many times that its working for her, and she doesnt know how to do things on purpose yet, not to intentionally bother you.
You have to give it 2 weeks of tough love trainng. Put them in their bed, light out with a night light, close the door, and just hang in there listening to her cry til she understands. I did this with my 2nd and it worked. I didnt ever spank my kids, only used time out, and that worked as well. My kids arent angels either, their boys to the core. But parenting takes alot of patience, love and understanding. You can always ask for help from friends or family as well.
