Reads like you're having a steep learning curve, especially on the patience front. Just keep breathing. Sometimes, at 3am with no end to the sleep deprivation in sight, that's the mantra: "keep breathing". Have you thought about cosleeping? Since she seems intent on staying with you guys for the night, if you make that an arrangement, it might remove some of the frustration of it. We co-slept with Sam (still do - his toddler bed abuts ours) and it worked wonderfully. That said, I've finally broken down and gotten Happiest Toddler on the Block. Our little drama prince is a saint out and about but his boundary testing is taking a toll around here... I think of you often, and while I know you have a ton of people out there able to lend an empathetic ear, I'm here too. ...as long as we can hear each other over our respective children's crying...
