How do I break this bad bedtime habit?

I have three amazing kids — 6, 5, and 1. When my older two were little, I started staying in their room at bedtime, sitting with them until they fell asleep. It felt easier at the time, but now? Total chaos.Even though we have a solid routine (bath, teeth, books, bed), they still cry and plead for us to stay. And once they’re asleep, it’s not over — they sneak into our bed in the middle of the night. 🫠It’s caused a lot of tension between my husband and me. We’ve tried the "let them cry it out" method, but our kids have superhuman stamina. I'm realizing now how hard breaking old habits can be, especially ones I accidentally created.Anyone else go through this? I would love to hear what actually helped your family — I’m all ears! #BedtimeStruggles #ParentingRealTalk #BreakingHabits #FamilyLife. #Parenting
