My baby was hyperactive tonight and refused to sleep when it was Way past his usual bedtime by two hours. I look after him by myself and was a little tired cause I woke up at 7am and it had been 15 hours and I did not have any rest. I asked my hubby for help and all he told me was he will just let him cry and I have spoilt the kid by picking him up every time he cry. I am very angry and told him that he is being unfair with his statement. Baby Is only 7 month old! What did I do wrong by trying my best to comfort him each time?!

my husband picks him up too. even at 2y8m, he cannot let him cry even 1min. side effects, child learns that I get what I want with my crying, and that doesn't help them with patience cos I don't have to wait. I get immediate attention etc. doesn't know what is "wait". when child is in school or childcare, it's going to be tough because he can't wait and he will have social skills issues with his peers. and the list goes on. so what I do is, each and every issue, I search for articles on it n send it to my husband. scare him. n he will then understand.
