How many times do your children get out of bed/come out of room post-bedtime??...

This is just nuts at this point!!! SS is going on 4. Every.... single.... night it goes up to 10 times or upwards of an hour!! There has been a bedtime routine established for years. Bath, clean up toys, goodnight/love you to the pets and etc, story time or books. White noise/music machine, night light and humidifier on. Seems normal, yes?? Almost down to the second, there’s 5 min silence and then that whimper at the door or the door slides open and here he comes! Sometimes it’s a reluctant march back to bed (repeat x5-10 times), other times it’s fake cry and when asked what is needed or wrong, there is literally no valid response. SS just starts talking like it’s 10am playtime!! This is really just a vent. We ebb and flow between laughing at the ridiculousness of it to “seriously what the F” pulling hair out frustrating! Some nights we know he fell asleep on floor against the door, because there’s either a shadow or the door makes noise when he moves. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2DLXY4p
