Well, this is my first blog entry, and I guess you can say I am glad I have a space to vent in.

My beautiful angelic like son has turned into someone completely unrecognisable since we put him in a bed.......I am not sure what to do anymore, I have tried everything from drying his sheets in the dryer to make him feel warmer, to giving him a comfort toy, to sitting there with him and the list goes on......but I have persisted with the pick up put down method, and still to no avail..........Any body with any suggestions please contact me.

I am 20, and I also have a 3 and a half month old gorgeous thing Jazynta Annabeth..........she is doing quite well, and I am just really happy with her development. My son, Ezekiel adores her too, and my husband to be, although has the right intentions, gives in way to easily, and doesn't stick to what I do during the day...and lately we have been quarrelling about the disciplinary action with our 2 year old. It is quite frustrating because I am the one here all throughout the day, and he will not put his 2 cents in, unless it suits him.............He is fairly irresponsible when it comes to setting aside time for the kids and me, but when it comes to his independant time, well, you get the idea.....time management issues I guess.

My husband has resorted to putting our son in our bed for his convenience as he doesn't want to have to put up with his crying in the process of putting him down.........while he is in the bedroom half sleeping, I am dealing with my sons crying for 3 hours.............He is a wonderful person though, and he does work hard during the day....but he forgets we dont clock out, and he does.....and because he clocks out, doesn't mean he should just clock out from his family too.:( I love my son very dearly, he is sucha  character, but the strain of raising 2 kids, feeling like I am the sole parent isnt easy..........and I know I am not the only one.......but I honestly only have 2 people who I talk to or chat to on a regular basis, and would love to meet new parents..........I think between us parents we are an abundance of wisdom and tollerance.......but sometimes feel so isolated that we don;t realise our worth.

Love to hear from any of you
