Bedtime destruction-Xpost
"Kender" wrote in message news:hp_Va.23984$YN5.21442@sccrnsc01... It's funny but I feel bad putting the window AC in our room and letting the kids suffer. Who do I choose? Do you pull the air in during the day or push it out with your industrial fan? We close everything up at 8am and open it all at 8pm. I grew up without AC but it's just so much more uncomfortable when you get older. I just tell myself I'm sweating off the pounds! : ) -- Erin Morgan and Megan 2/15/97 Evan 5/14/00 Hi there - why can't your son sleep in your room while it's hot? That way, everyone wins, and no-one feels guilty. We have 1 A/C unit in our house, downstairs in the LR...and DH, DD & I all sleep down here when it's hot & nasty out. HTH, Corinne |

Bedtime destruction-Xpost
Kender writes:
My three year old is a terror at nap and bedtime. He used to be such a sweet child and now, holy cow. He's destroying his room. The only thing he has in there are windows, a bed, a bookcase, a dresser and two fans, as it is very hot here in the Pacific NW. If he's really only doing this at nap time, I think it's a reaction to being left alone and not really wanting to nap. You also say he only actually naps 3 days/week, so it's not doing a lot of good. I'm with those who would cut out the naps. (On the other hand, I'm also more willing to cut out or skip naps with my kids than my wife is---it's just a judgment call.) I'd try to arrange some sort of "quiet time" that he doesn't object to so much. We've never had any "destruction" issues, but we don't leave the room until they are asleep, and they usually scream for attention (or sometimes just come out) as soon as they wake up.
