My 3yo was regularly sleeping through the night until his awake light would come on. Now, he is up multiple times through the night and hasn’t slept until his light comes on in weeks. (Cont.)

My guess - he’s outgrown the daily nap

My four year old had already stopped regular naps before starting preschool this fall, where they have a one hour nap time. On school days, it is much harder to get her to go to bed / stay in bed unless we focus on wearing her out when she gets home (park, swimming, soccer, etc.)

Have to kill the nap.

We’ve had the same situations. It’s rough. Maybe try melatonin right before bed time for a week. It might be able to reset his routine.

We never do more than 3 nights in a row for the same reason

I echo what the others have said about the nap. My daughter was a terrible sleeper until we nixed the daytime nap. Also, getting her up early and keeping her busy all day helped tire her out enough that she started sleeping through the night again. I wish I'd known about melatonin back then. I'd have tried that as well.

Not much has changed. He’s still napping at daycare. Bedtime is the same as before. We don’t know what to do! We’ve reversed his door handle and tried locking his door so he can’t come out. That worked great in the beginning but not anymore. Anyone else experience this?

(We also have a newborn at home now but this was happening before that. Our newborn is sleeping better than our 3yo…ughhhh!!)

Try pushing bedtime back? My 3.5yo still takes a nap at daycare also so bedtime is close to 9pm

Tried the melatonin which helped with getting him to sleep, but he’s still waking up and getting out of bed. He’s now saying he’s scared and wants a nightlight. He’s never slept with a light before, but wondering if I should give it a try...

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive.

She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??

Having struggled with visa for the past ~6 years, I have become extremely cynical. I don’t trust real friendships anymore because friends turned into competitors or got too burdened to maintain the friendships.

I understand the value of doing so, but my repulsion inevitably showed through my apparent desire to end small talks as soon as possible.
