Bed changing is special too. My kids have bunk beds and changing the sheets is awful in the middle of the night. I’m always praying that the mattress protector didn’t fail. I’ve had too many of those happen.

This makes me feel so seen, lol. My third is almost 2, and she’s the best sleeper of all my kids! 😂 the 5 and 7 year old are up enough nights that I have anxiety on the nights they do sleep that I’m going to get woken up, so I don’t sleep well anyway. I’ve taken to hiding in the guest room and making my husband deal with them, haha. Here’s to sleep one day maybe!

I have 7 kids, A 13 year old, a 11 year old, a 9 year old, a 8 year old, a 6 year old, a 4 year old, and a 2 year old. And I want to tell you, don’t worry they do start to sleep through the night. You will get to sleep eventually. Just a couple more years mommy. You got this! 🥰 P.S I’m not there yet. But all my big kids do sleep through so, I have hope. Lol

So many children, it's amazing and wonderful! I'm going crazy with just one but I wish I were able to handle more. Do you have any suggestion for an aspiring big family mommy? Do you think only some women have what it takes? I wonder about this every day, even though I should just drop it and maybe aspire to just a second kid. Thank you so much and best wishes super mommy!!!

I'm so happy that you're posting your videos on YT now 😊 I Love You & Your Family 💖 Sleep 😊😴 Love from Colorado 🌲🌃❄

My poor husband doesn’t get any sleep, his side is closest to the door, always gets woken up by our girls too. Also by our cat 😂

"I'm thirsty" is also a big out-of-bed excuse (and in-car problem too, apparently!). Kids are always either too hydrated or not hydrated enough around bedtime. ;)

I totally totally agree with u 💯 so true And not only this all your videos are so relatable to my situations of being a mom of 2 boys(2yr old and 5yr old) I keep watching your videos repeatedly and I love all your girls ,,,they r so cute and adorable !!!!I wid love to have a girl soon but oops boys keep me busy 😅

Thank you!!! I have an almost 2 year old and almost 4 year old and I still don't get to sleep.... and I thought it was just me. I swear my parents say oh you guys slept just fine for years ...so I thought there was something wrong with me/my kids. Thank you for sharing!!!!

I relate to this way tooo much! I have a 3, 5 and 7 yr old as well!

Yes!!!

*Hi, you know what ! You sound like Rebecca Pearson if you watch NBC's This is us* 😂😂

I have a four year old that’s up all the time 😭

I swear I’ve always said that. I’ve an 8 year old and 5 year old, what is sleep??? Never heard of that

It absolutely can get better. There are always exceptions of course, but outside of extenuating circumstances, a neuro-typical child, over the age of 2/3, living in a stable home does not have to be waking their parents on a nightly basis. (It will happen occasionally, of course, but it does not have to be regular.) The key is teaching them how and giving them strategies to meet their own needs in the middle of the night. Are they waking you thirsty? Make it a habit to leave water they can access on their own (a sippy by the bed, a cup in the kitchen, whatever works). Are they waking up scared? Where in the world are they getting frightening ideas? Remove them. Period. Young children should not be exposed to older kid/adult content that is frightening. (My oldest is super sensitive...there were even some shows for preschoolers we had to forgo for a little while, but for me, sleep (both hers and mine) was worth it to me so we did it). Give them a lantern that will shut off automatically (so you're not changing batteries everyday) that they can turn on if they feel scared. If need be, set up a sleeping bag in your room that they can come sleep in quietly - with instructions not to wake you - if they need to be near you. A child over 4/5 is certainly old enough to have real (albeit short) conversations about the importance of sleep for them and for mommy and daddy too! They should know they can wake you if they can't figure something out on their own (of course!), but give them strategies to take care of the things they can. Not only will it give you more sleep so you're better prepared to care for them during the day, but it's such a boost of confidence for them to be able to meet some of their own needs too. If you have a child who is waking you simply because they want your time and attention...don't give it to them. Lots and lots and loooots of love, attention, snuggles, etc. during the day. Overdo it even to make sure they're getting enough. But at night, it's all business. Take care of their immediate needs (if there are any) and then it's straight back to bed for everyone. This is long, but the point is I want to give you hope. There are lots of strategies you can use to help various nighttime sleep interruptions. If you believe that a child can't learn to help themselves at all until age 10/12 or that they can't understand and develop the empathy needed to let others sleep when possible, then yes, you're pretty much stuck serving them all night long until they magically sleep on their own or they become teenagers. But if you see them as amazing capable humans there is so much they can learn to do that will benefit both them and you.

@@abrahamlinkinpark it is. But can you imagine if she had to work full time on top of three kids if her husband didn't make enough money? Heck working full time at a job is probably easier than three kids.
