Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

HELP - almost 17th month old ds is feverishly teething (maybe molars). shoves his blanket in the back of his mouth and just bites. give him motrin at bedtime but wakes as soon as it wears off. Should i go in and give more. 4th night and he screams until i do. Feel bad not going in - but am i creating a habit.....fwiw i do give and he falls back to sleep about 45 minutes later. help feel bad - and he and I are both sleep deprived.

[ Reply | More ]OP here - thanks for resassuring me I am doing what is right. i think for me i just worry giving tylenol / motrin too long (been 4 nights) and how do i tell still in pain other then he seems to be holding his face and during the day excessive droll and bitting on his hands. guess i just need to go with the instinct. thanks!
[ Reply | More ](poster from above) yes, trust your instincts. DD is almost 17 mos, and she got all 4 molars the same week a while back. The teething lasted a couple of weeks, and it was awful! Night waking, fever, etc. But, once the teeth had popped through, she was back to usual. Hang in there :)
