Asher stayed up THE ENTIRE NIGHT again. We have tried everything with this kid. He even gets 10mg of melatonin per Dr. Davis's orders. We have taken the computer, the kindles, pads, etc. away. NOTHING works!! GAh!!! School was cancelled for the third day in a row due to extreme temperatures so he is here. I took the computers away again and he is sad. Why do I feel like the bad guy here? I told him before bed (nicely) that if he stayed up all night again that he wouldn't have access to the computer today on the snow day. Then I told him again about an hour later (again, nicely) and then another hour later (getting mad), and again, and again, and again, until I am a pissed off mom, half delusional from no sleep, yelling like a crazy person. Then he cries and I feel bad. What the hell!?!? I don't know how to make him understand that he is not the only person in the world with feelings.
Anyway, I just had to vent all that out. Obviously, I love him like crazy, and would do anything for him but, goodness, the struggle is real with trying to get him to understand how feelings work.
