i feel terrible saying this but I feel like I’ve made the biggest mistake getting our puppy. I’m utterly exhausted. I have 3 kids and 2 jobs and a husband who works shifts and I honestly didn’t realise how tiring this would be. Daisy is almost 10 weeks (we have had her since 8 weeks) and has been sleeping well the last few nights in a pen in our living room. I’ve been getting up around 4.30/5am most days with her as that is when she wakes and needs to go out. Last night I put her in the laundry (still in her crate with the door open) but enclosed by a baby gate. She cried for a bit then went to sleep... turn woke around 130, took her out for a pee, she cried for about 40 minutes then went back to sleep then woke for the day at 430am. I took her out for a pee, then put her back to bed. She cried until 530am when I gave in and let her out. I’m not even sure if I’m doing the right thing. I’m so exhausted I can’t think straight. I ultimately want her to sleep in the laundry as it’s a safe place and has a dog door so she can go in and out. The pen in the living room is not gonna be secure for much longer as she gets bigger. She’s now been happily napping since 7am, meanwhile myself and the kids are utterly shattered. Now I have to go to work once my hubby gets home. I just can’t go on like this, how long does it last? When will she sleep past 430am? Can I leave her to go in and out of the dog door in the night? Is it ok to let her cry in the night? Please help I’m at my wits end
