Sleeping on Her Own - Part 3

We still have no success. Two nights ago, we tried to let her sleep in her room on the mattress, thinking that she woke up maybe bcos her bed is too small for her. I shifted her over at 11+pm and heard her cry at 12+am. I rushed over to try to pacify her and she asked for the same thing - "Mummy, room". I was a little persistent this time and tried to coax her to continue to stay in her room. At one point, I seem to get some success until she suddenly decides to disagree and threw a very bad and long tantrum.

She starting crying, screaming, squirming, refusing to be comforted for the next 1 hour. It was very bad. J probably never seen Lil Shauna reacted this way and was standing at the doorway looking at us, afraid to go to bed. She even woke ah yee up, so you can imagine how bad it was.

She just refused to be coaxed no matter what and it was no use trying to spank her, it will just make things worse. It was finally when she was tired that she was willing to be coaxed. I have to bring her to look out of the window and even a walk at the corridor before she finally stops. By the time we all go back to bed, it was already 2am. -_____-"

The next morning, Daddy Lim and I zombied to work and I started wondering what I should do. Well, I can persist and continue to bring her to her room every alternate night after she sleeps. Or we can change tactic, say maybe buy her a princess bed and entice her to sleep in her bed? Or stop for the time being and try again later. Or give up totally and let her continue to sleep with us. Then no. 2 will sleep with J. We haven decide, but with her waking up every time we put her there, I am getting tired. Moreover, Daddy Lim is gg on night shift, all the more, I feel like shelving the idea for awhile.

Daddy Lim thinks that we should stop for the time being and Lil Shauna will want her own room when she's old enuff. Daddy Lim got a shock when I told him that some kids just dun grow out of it. I have friends who are already adults and are still sleeping with their parents. It is a habit, one that is so difficult to break. How?

For the past 2 nights, Lil Shauna had been sleeping with us. I am worried that the hour long tantrum will repeat itself and she's sick too. Haiz...
