Re: [Sam/Jas]
Yeah. Within reason. Kid eats more than you do. Kid sleeps more than you do. You can pick what you do, whether kid goes to bed early or late, whether you do naps or not. But kid still has needs, same way you've got yours. Their needs don't wipe yours out. Your needs don't wipe theirs.
Know that probably ain't what you wanna hear right now. But it's trade-offs, right. They don't get a nap, they get tired, they get screaming, you figure out you gotta give em time for the nap. It settles. You set a routine, they work with it.
You're the mom, OK? Nobody in charge except you. Don't have to do it this way.
