What would you have done in this situation? Am I right or is my husband right?

Maybe skip nap but earlier bedtime than usual?

100% skipped nap, but I would've definitely put her to bed earlier and not at her usual time. I would've probably put her to bed around 6pm

I would have let her have a short nap or an earlier bed time

usually a cat nap (30 mins) won't effect bedtime too much but can help with sleep pressure!

Yeah next time I would wake her at the 30 minute mark with a snack and drink to give her a boost. Neither of you are wrong, you needed to find a better middle ground is all.

I would’ve let my boy had a 30 min nap but I know he’d go down for bed fine anyway, or I would’ve skipped and made an earlier bed time - 4 hours is a long time to keep up my little man if he wanted to sleep, he would’ve been fuming!! But you know your child and if she’s gone to sleep it’s not really a big deal either way!

If my son hasn’t had his nap by 3pm he’s not having one 😂 id much rather pop him to bed half an hour early than sacrifice my few hours of peace on an evening

There would have been nothing wrong with letting her have half an hour or even an hour of sleep, even if it meant that she went to bed at 8 or 8:30 or even 9pm. It is cruel to keep them awake if they are tired.

If my 2 year old hasn't gone to sleep by 3 I skip her nap too. She gets a little cranky but she falls right to sleep at bedtime. It's not a big deal.

Thanks for all the replies! Yes I forgot to mention we let her sleep earlier so started getting ready for bed at 5.30 and she was fast asleep by 5.50 so very early night!

I’ve mentioned in my post that she would have been awake until almost midnight if I had let her nap. She would not have slept at 9.

Half an hour doesn't change their routine that much. My little boy can have half an hour and still go to sleep by 9:30 at the latest.

Yep after 3pm nap is danger zone 🤣🤣

good for you but children are different, my child would have been up until midnight even after 5 minutes of shut eye. Not sure why I’m having to repeat myself.

I do exactly the same, once we get to a certain time it becomes danger territory. I've tried the short nap it's pointless as like you they'll be up or night or I wake them and they're still grumpy all afternoon.

30mins nap. I wouldn’t want to let her sleep earlier as it means she’ll wake up earlier in the morning 🤣
