Vallergan. I don't want something we need to give him all the time and a bunch of people I know through work/kindergarten have said how they would give it to their kid once then give smaller doses for 2-3 days afterwards before stopping all together. Since it works as a sedative it's more of a habit changing drug, put the warm coziness of sleep during the early AM hours into its rightful place in his habit loving brain.
But of course that means we are monsters and it's 100% our fault that he isn't sleeping. Ignoring the fact that he's a 3 and a half year old kid who holds all the cards of course.
I'd prefer to go this route rather than beat him or put a deadlock on his door and just hope he doesn't smash a window. That's not really an option in my mind.
Sooooooooo now to wait until a psychiatrist will do a ground session with us and whatever that entails. So maybe in a few months we will have pumped enough money into the health system for a doctor to prescribe (I just want to be 100% sure of dosage and timing damnit) a medicine that I can order online for under $20 no problem.
So yay. Still no sleep.
The doctor the wife got in the end after a string of money grubbing bigoted fuckwits was nice, despite recommending we change OUR sleep structure to suit his.
I mean, helllllllllllllllloooooooooooo.
The problem is HE isn't getting enough sleep. Us not getting enough sleep fucking sucks but the main problem is we can't do any activities with him because he is tired as fuck as soon as 8am rolls around yet refuses to take a nap or sleep until 7pm-ish.
I'm sick of him missing out on stuff because he's too damn stubborn to sleep when we tell him to. Plus the always evident bags under his eyes makes him look so sad, as if someone keeps giving him 2 black eyes every morning
Stupid post-holiday quasi-depression thing. Damnit
I'm sure it'll be over once I'm back into normal sleeping/eating patterns... but for now, fuck it.
Yay! Shane's back! How was the journey?
