My Kids Hate Their Nap Time

If I would just allow it, Alycia and Sherilyn would be more than happy to just play and watch TV the whole day…. and they would avoid taking their nap, bath, avoid drinking water and for Sherilyn, she would love to avoid having her meals too. 

On Saturday, Alycia and Sherilyn played and watched TV the moment they got up from bed in the morning. They also followed daddy out for lunch and shopping at a nearby mini mart while I stayed home with baby. During their afternoon nap time, they didn’t seem sleepy and they continued playing until around 7pm…. and that’s when they began to feel sleepy and jaded. But still, they refused to admit that they were sleepy but just sat on the couch and watched TV…. quietly.  When I asked them if they were sleepy, they were still adamant that they were not tired or sleepy…..hah! Minutes later, they konked out like this :


They were obviously really worn out and had I not wanted to bring baby to the ER of the hospital to get treatment for a UTI attack and had to bring the both of them along, they could have slept until the next morning!  Are your kids like this too?  Do they always avoid taking their nap?

  1. yeah, Amber’s the same. will avoid nap until really cannot tahan, konk-ed out usually around7pm or will get very very cranky. Sometimes, I use the cane to threaten her to sleep. I may be mean but I need some ‘me’ time, bliss when she’s asleep 🙂

  2. Haha, Sethy dislikes his nap time too.. but when he is really worn out … he prefer to sleep on the sofa, in the playpen or even on the floor, NOT on the bed 🙂

  3. hahaha…that’s really funny. ashley wants her beauty sleep everyday 🙂 i’m very strict with her when it comes to nap/bedtime since she was little so i think now she’s used to the routine.

  4. my son is always like this. he said sleeping is no fun. but now he can tahan edi till around 8 or 9pm then i send kids to bed. on weekends, i make him nap so that we can go gai gai and stay up later than 9pm

  5. hahahhaha, two of them so cute and funny!!! My boys too, if can avoid, they don’t want their afternoon nap, but i usually strict to them to have afternoon nap, except during school holidays, some day i give exceptional to skip afternoon nap. 🙂

    So far, only Cruz will konked out like this, when he is really tired.

  6. My son also doesn’t like to nap in the afternoon. But if he does that, at nite, he’ll be an owl. 11p.m. also still awake. But, sometimes, he’ll just knock out like your kids either in the car, watching tv or lying down somewhere.
