I don't know if I can do it people, I know that him going to bed at midnight is not feasible, but Jesus I can't take his crying like this.

You can. This too shall pass.
And there's always the pillow-shreik a la Lilo and Stitch (for you, not him... :) )

It's so hard Ick *sighs* he's taking two naps a day, averaging about 1-2 hours, and going to bed at 11-12 and waking up at 4-5 to come into bed with us, and 7-8 permantly.

I know I need to get him doing more, but I don't know what's right for -him- and I Don't want to not respond to his needs.

My mouse is on much the same thing -- though more likely to have about 4 20-minute naps during the day (AUGH!) and start fighting sleep around 7:30 p.m. Waking every 3 hrs at night recently, after a couple weeks of better than that. We've just agreed that we're going to try for a regularish 8 p.m. bedtime and see if we can not have him sleep with us so much (since he kicks us awake, and then more or less waking himself as well. Though sometimes I think he never fully wakes then ( ... )

He's doing a bit better on the whole sleep thing, though I cracked on the CIO since he was not feeling good.

I just want him to go to bed to at a reasonable time, somewhere around 9-10. I think you read Julie's blog (a little pregnant) all that controversy and I'm going "I let him cry for 20 minutes" He doesn't vomit or poop himself and he's fed and changed and ok..he's just -pissed off-.

So am I scaring him? should I let him dictate his sleep schedule? will this damage his pysche? or am I teaching him he gets what he wants? God I hate all of this I wish that it was more clear.

Look at it this way... 10 months down, 17 years and 2 months to go... you're 4.6% of the way there...

Isn't that cheerful?

P.S. Emails???

Sometimes you make me very tired.

*chuckles*

yes yes e-mails, I have them! I'm getting them! I even have the 'respond' window open, if I can just drag myself awake and be coherant.
