Hello fellow tired parents. So I just wanted to ask if anyone else suffers pretty significantly with anxiety around their kids ‘overnight activities’.
It’s something I’ve been dealing with since my eldest was a baby, but it’s got significantly worse since our second came onto the scene 16 months ago (he’s yet to sleep through the night and requires constant soothing).
When they’re ill I feel this constant sense of dread throughout the day. It’s gotten to the point where I’ll just lay there for hours on end just waiting to hear them cry, sometimes I even hear phantom cries.
It’s really starting to effect me. Is this normal, do we all have it? Any tips??
Thanks.
Sounds like you need some sleep. You’re likely overthinking everything. Focus on sleep training your youngest.
