Does anybody else feel that dealing with an overtired toddler/preschooler?

...Is like dealing with a very small drunk person? Putting them to bed when they are acting out because they are so tired, kind of like taking care of somebody that is so drunk, they don't even know where they are?

Had this experience last night, just wondering.

Wow! Boy do I remember those days! That is exactly what it's like. They go all limp and throw themselves around. I never thought about that comparison before but you hit it tight on the head! I raised 4 kids and now have 5 grand kids,2 of which live with me. Thanks for the giggle...the best of luck to you.

Interesting analogy. Although usually drunks just fall asleep in mid sentence and don't fight the feeling. Children do fight sleep and it is amazing how long they can hold on!
But, interesting non the less.
