'We realized our mistake quickly.'
, not much has been said about how this transition impacts the parental experience — and that impact, I’ve come to learn, cannot be overstated.
Now, nothing is guaranteed. A huge lever of our parental control — those four walls of the crib — has been removed, and we’re left realizing that we have little else in leverage. Sure, healthy parenting isn’t about power , but it sure is easier when you have the upper hand. In these moments, I can feel my patience growing thin, the simmering irritation in my veins threatening to come to a full boil. Over and over, I do what the experts say: calmly, firmly, let her know that it’s bedtime and she needs to get back in bed. But after a while, I feel the desperation of my situation. I have zero control over when my daughter sleeps; I’m returned to that feeling of dread that tinged the newborn months, the fear that I would never sleep again, that this was forever.
