Can I have a post please.
I’ve just been called a bad mum.
My daughter went to bed at 10pm tonight. (Later than normal as she wasn’t too tired). She is 2. She’s still wide awake in her room. She’s still in a cot. She’s not crying or screaming or anything. Just throwing things out the cot and playing with her dolls. I normally leave her to it until she falls asleep. Now tonight my friend is here and she says I should go sit with her until she falls asleep. I have never done this. Even with my eldest (who was 10 in Feb) if she isn’t upset or anything then I think it’s ok to leave her until she falls asleep.
What do other mums think? Am I a bad mum?

I do exactly the same with my lb who’s 15 months. He went to he tonight at 7.30 but still awake at 8, wasn’t crying just cooing to himself. Gave him a cuddle, read him a story and gave him a few toys. 8.30 can hear him awake, he was asleep by 9 but had fallen asleep with his toys in his hands so he was keeping himself awake. If I tried to stay with him till he fell asleep then it would take hours as I’ve never done that and he would think it’s a game. You know your child and how they settle so ignore her, you’re doing great x
Your not a bad mum. My little one is nearly two and I always leave him to it. Unless he cries and sounds unset then I’ll go and settle him. But if he’s happy playing and talking to himself then what’s the problem 🙂 zx
I did the same, leave em until the sleep!
If you go in and cuddle em and stay with em then they will get mardy and expect it.
I would tell you ‘friend’.to get a grip, if she’s mum of the year, where are her kids tonighy
I have to let my daughter play on her side of the room until she falls asleep other wise she will demand to sleep in our bed and that can’t happen haha there’s nothing wrong with letting them sit by themselves until they fall asleep! You’re doing a great job mama!
My lb is 2 and I put him to bed at 8pm every night wide awake he drinks his milk I sing him a song and when he’s finished he hands me the cup and off down the stairs I go he settles himself to sleep …wish I had of done this with my older 2 who r 8 and 4 they have no routine at bedtime at all 😥 keep doing what ur doing I say x
Mine has only just fell asleep in the last half hour and he went to bed at seven. He sits and amuses himself. I go in to check him change his bum and leave him to it. Does that make me a bad mum? Your baba will go sleep when she’s ready. Keep up the good work mama ❤️ xx
I must be a terrible mother if that’s the case my daughter is one and she’s awsome going to bed but tonight ain’t her night she’s up playing in her cot happy not a bad mam at all if you’re gonna go in there and sit there she just get the hang of you running after her your fine as long baby happy everyone happy ay ahah ♡
Tell her to behave I’ve got 4 children and if they are happy seize the moment let them happily play and fall asleep. I’m not a believer in letting them cry it out but if they are happy why ruin it? If it’s your children it’s your decision your friend clearly has too much time on her hands to sit around next to a cot xxx
I put my wee girl into her bed with a DVD on and she is 3 and a also put my wee girl who has just turned 1 into her cot with the light out because that is the only way she will go to sleep you are not a bad mum at all it’s what works best for you x
Are you heck a bad mum. If anything your friends a bad friend to judge, does she have kids!? My little girl, aged 2 went to bed at 10.30 because she had a late nap. I must be really awful 😂 xx
my two are 2 & 1 if they don’t go to sleep when they are put to bed They play ware eachother out they let me know when there ready for bed ( it’s rare one or both of them stay awake after being put to bed) I don’t sit with them i dont make a fuss if I sat in there they’d never go to sleep lol… not a bad mum at all x
Yer mates takin shiiite…i would put my wee boy up to bed around 8 n sometines he falls asleep within 10 mins sometimes 2 hours..i just leave him to chill.
Why would you need to sit with her? If she is happy and content then leave her to it, she is safe and happy I don’t see the problem
Your friends talking pure shite . Aye sit there for hours n wait for her to fall asleep 😂😂😂😂 how absolutely redicilous
You’re not a bad mum at all. I do the same with my Daughter. xxx
no your not a bad mum at all i have always leave them to it till they fall asleep sitting in the room is going to make it harder as they will try and get your attention and not dose off as quickly. anyways every parent can parent how they want to and people who tell you what to do with your kids think their parents of the year!
No your not a bad mum,your daughter must like it if shes not crying .x
Nice friend a? Tell her do one x
No you are not a bad mum xx
