Nobody appreciates help from the grandparents more than myself and my husband.
This post comes from an experience I had the other weekend. My parents had our son, which was a huge help. However, when I called to check how he had been I got the following reply from my Dad….”oh great, he had a great sleep in till 8am!!!!!”.
Now, this would be great, but I have a low sleep needs kid. This then resulted in 2 nights of him not going to sleep until nearly 10pm!!!
We just need to really express how crucial this sleep structure is. I know they mean well but the ripples of this extra sleep from naps or a lie in can really throw things off.
We love these grandparents but we also love our kip!!!
