The dcg that I have doesn't like quiet time. If I call it nap time she starts crying. If I ask her to lay down (she closes her eyes, then starts to fall over) she starts crying. She keeps telling me that she does not need to sleep.

Now she has decided that instead of sitting/laying on her mat she is going to sit on the potty. She has been there for the last 30 min. She hasn't even gone to the bathroom. At first she want me to put her on the toilet. I said no, she could use the potty. This is my break and I am caring for my 10 month old (her crying woke him up). She then starts crying about who her dad says she has to use the toilet. I put my son down and went to her. I tell her that when she is here she has to follow my rules, not her father's. she has stopped crying, but is still on the potty.

Should I just leave her there or have her go back to her mat?
She is being quiet.

I am fighting a very bad head cold, which the father new about, but brought her anyways. He had to work and mom had school, so I do understand. But all I want to do is sit on the sofa and not listen to any crying. I can not wait until her dad gets here at 6pm.
