NWR How illegal is doping your children up on nyquil so theyll go to bed when you want them to?

Best thread title ever.

My trick is rubbing my baby's back. She isn't a baby anymore, BUT she's my baby. I also have a book to read to her and see if she is up for some book time. I only ever use motrin btw (not to put her to sleep, but in general lol) Tylenol doesn't help and gets recalled all the time.

I'm not a mom so I have no tricks but I was a kid not to long ago, I say threaten them. Lol well, my mom's tactics probably aren't the best. I just wanted to comment because the title of this post had me laughing my a** off. Good luck with the kiddos. And btw, just a little ny'quil couldn't hurt...right?

LOL! I feel ya. Sometime I feel the same way about my twins.... But I am sure it a law against it. Depending on their age try Johnson nighttime bubble bath sometimes work..... or since allergies season has begun benedryl always put my two to sleep..... lol

LMAO! No advice, just found this hilarious!

I odn't know, but the title has me rotflmao!!!! Good one.

Very illegal! Cuddle up with them and watch their favorite movie until they fall asleep?

What about a warm, soothing soak in the bath?

Tried bath before jammies.

The tv thing isn't really something I'm cool with but its a great suggestion!

And I'm saying... like a felony? Or like a slap on the wrist?

Btw... I would never do or advocate such a thing... it was just an absent way of titling a thread.

Shoot, in the 1970s parents would pop a little whiskey in a baby, or make a child over 10 drink some screwdriver. lol

Warm milk with a tablespoon of brandy! That was it!! haha

Lol my parents used to give me whiskey so that I wouldn't cough so much (I had terrible chornic bronchitis and athsma) and I turned out just fine. Lol

...But that was from our Baby Boomer parents, who were raised on sugar sandwiches and whose parents smoked while pregnant - 4 out of 5 doctors recommended brand X! ~yea.

My mom would give me hot toddys when I was sick. (Hot water with honey, lemon juice & whiskey or brandy). It would make my throat feel better and knock me out to get some good sleep. I still drink them when I'm sick.

A hammer always works for me...

Duct tape.

Hey as long as your not giving them like 2 tablespoons it should work wonders!!! lol

My sister talked to her kids Dr and he said half a melatonin would be ok its something we already have. My nephew would scream and throw fits if he sleeps anywhere but home. A melatonin pill is 3mg so half is really nothing. But my sis is a nurse and talked to the dr so hopefully its all good

SO I CAN DRUG THEM!! *HEARS THE HALLELUAH CHORUS* lol

It's not "Illegal" as much as it is really just immoral? Perhaps? I don't know.

Hopefully they are asleep by now. Otherwise just do story time and lights out or cuddle time, whathaveyou, and hopefully they fall asleep. I just rock my lil lady. About 10 minutes she is always asleep. Regardless if she is tired.
