My 3 year old has been good all night and then her daddy comes in she plays up and starts being a nightmare going to bed and not listening . It’s so draining will this phase ever end every night it’s a battle she’s in such a good routine after few days back here with me 7pm bed up 7am but she goes to her daddy’s fortnightly and last night she’s sleeping for me half 7 and I said this is great back to routine better than I thought and nope was wrong she got up at 1am and hasn’t stopped since very hyper and go go go and not even sleep in her don’t know what to do she’s never like this but when she’s back from her daddy’s she’s a different child for 4 5 days then back into my routine and way of things then his weekends again and boom back and forth again 😞 😞 😢

My son is 10 and we still have a few days after he comes back from his dad’s where he is deregulated and his behaviour is difficult, his attitude is awful. There are different rules at his dad’s, and his dad doesn’t like to punish him as he doesn’t see him often which also doesn’t help. If you and her father have good communication on rules and expectations it may get easier. She’s still very young so may just need more time to adjust to the routine 😊
