I asked for help.....

We had tea a little late as it took a lot longer than I’d hoped so it was gone 8pm
Gave baby her milk at 9 and tuck her up to bed and boom she was wide awake. My two year old was still up ( she don’t sleep on her own someone has to go up with her, it’s a working progress)
Boyfriend come in living room after watching videos on his laptop in kitchen and says “ it’s getting later and later there both being up” and I said I can’t put our two year old to bed till babies in bed. And after five minutes he says he’s going bed so he goes up about an hour later babies about ready for sleep so I take her up and he’s in bed watching a video. go back down and listen to monitor till baby is asleep ( they both sleep in same room, but I can’t take em up at same time as baby won’t fall asleep if I’m in room)
And now 11pm and I’m sat in there room waiting for two year old to fall asleep.

Must I ask him every time when he can see I need help with them like he could of tuck our two year old up to bed when he went up she was ready for sleep.

I’ve still got to clean kitchen and living room till I go bed.
Open your eyes man

@Penny not really no I thought about putting one in our room but with his snoring and being loud all time he leaves work for 5.30 so it wouldn’t work

@MiraRoss I remember trying to get babies to sleep. not fun lol. do you read to the two year old? when my kids were little id read them a story at night and then they knew it was time to sleep. im sure it'd be much harder if the two are in the same room though. maybe get toddler down first a bit earlier? have dad read the story once in a while? then put the baby to bed really quiet like even if the toddler isn't asleep yet. I used to play Enya for them to sleep to. Maybe some soft music would help too?

@Penny yes I have books on my phone for her. I have tried having her ready for 7 half seven but it never works.
If my baby is tired enough and the other is quite it’s okay but she just messes around and is fidgety

@MiraRoss I know its frustrating but before you know it they are going to be adults so please just try to be patient with them and enjoy your time with them now when they are little. how old is the baby? have you heard of the Ferberizing method. it worked very good for me.
