To Fuss or Not To Fuss...

It's been a long time since I have really dealt with a toddler. I have temporarily taken on an 18 month old 2x's a week. It's nap time, I put him down, he cries. I soothe him, put him back, he cries. I leave him and after 3 minutes he quits. Then 5 minutes later he cries. I check on him, he's poopy, I change him, soothe him and lay him back down...he cries about 3 more minutes. He is quiet now, I pray it lasts and he wakes up happy...I don't want him to hate me or nap time.

On a different note, I find the older I get the less tolerant I become of people being inconsiderate. I know we all have our moments but if you are going to put yourself out to accommodate something or someone the same effort should be returned, right? Right!
