Single Parenting?

Last night my husband had to go out to work for the night… so I was alone…

Now, being alone in the day is one thing, but, being alone at night… NOT easy!

Everyone knows that I am a big fan of routines… so I guess by extension, my kids are big fans of routines… the problem is that the night time routine is mainly carried out by daddy!

I skipped alot of the things they usually do at bedtime… my idea was to give them a movie and then hope that they fall asleep…

11pm… kids running around the room… albeit tiredly…

My ideas were a bit “idiotic” for lack of a better word… I took off all the lights and pretended that I was going to sleep. [In my defense, I was very tired]

Kids screaming.

Lights back on.

But at least now they know that I meant business! So by 11:30 I had them on their sleeping bags, in our room, sleeping at last.

Daddy finally came home at 6:30am… and he’s sleeping… in the kid’s bed… which is about 3/4 of his size!
