Sleeping Issues Time

[LaneyBug]

Well, DH is gone for week. He is taking some survival class before he leaves for deployment, sometime next month. We weren't planning on this, it was a surprise, but it is giving me a chance to see what I am in for with Tristan. He was up until 2 1/2 hours after I put him to bed last night. I just kept putting him in bed, and I gave him 3 mgs of Melatonin. I went in and talked to him (calmly) many many times. I don't know what it is about DH, but he never does this to him. I don't know if it is a comfort thing, or because he senses weakness in me, or what. I'm just so worried that it is going to be like this for the entire 6 months DH will be gone.

I go through periods of this too. My son is a Daddy's boy. I get the angry child every few months, where it's all my fault Daddy is gone. Not fun, not fun at all.

It sure isn't. He fought me a little bit last night, but it was much better than the night before, so I'm crossing my fingers...
