Friend lets 3 year old daughter sleep whenever she wants to. Let's her watch TV and play games. Baby goes to sleep 4am-6am has to get up at 7:30 for daycare. She says baby sleeps at daycare.
She also says baby makes up sleep on Saturday and Sundays.
I broke off the friendship after she called me rude for being concerned about the baby's sleep.
Are you the one who's friends ganged up on you for making a simple suggestion? Just step away from the situation and don't let it occupy space in your head. She's not in your life anymore, so thinking about something negative is pointless.
Meh, let the kid figure it out while she's still got time; you get these parents who are all "lights out, no sugar, no boyfriends, no games, clarinet practice, study, bla bla bla" and then their kids get to college and can't deal because their parents aren't there to tell them what to do anymore.
She's three. If she actually had some sort of responsibility (like school or something), I would be concerned, but as it stands, I see no issue. My brothers pretty much stayed up until whenever (within reason; someone has to watch them, and who's going to stay up until three in the morning doing that?) , and they've had no problems.
The thing that's actually bad for the child's development is being shoved away to a daycare all day.
It's definitely child abuse to deprive a child of sleep and hope you don't ever have kids
It's not depriving a child of sleep if the child actually gets to sleep. The friend says that the girl gets her sleep at the daycare; I'd assume she's telling the truth.
It seems that the girl is sleeping when she herself chooses to sleep. One cannot be being deprived of sleep by another person when one is choosing for oneself when one goes to sleep. I highly doubt that the mother is forcing the child to stay up until four in the morning.
Another thing, perhaps this is just the mother trying to have an actually good relationship with her child. Rather than mostly being around when the girl's asleep, the mother would rather have it be that the girl has fun at the house and sleeps at the daycare, so to prevent the girl from ending up like the children who have better relationships with the daycare workers than their own parents.
We’ve talked about this before. The child will sleep when she wants to sleep. I personally, could never live without my children being on a consistent schedule. But other people do things differently. It’s really not that big of a deal. Again, for me it would be. I want them fuckers in bed at 8 on the dot! Lol.
you're degrading women!!!! tell me, how do you not look at yourself in the mirror with disgust for yourself?
