Have I messed up? Crate training fail

Puppy is 8 weeks, just come home with us. Tried crate training the first few nights and she has just screamed her head off- she’s waking us all up (including my toddler) – I’m writing this at 5.45am and we are all awake because she was screaming so much.

I work until 11pm so get home about 11.30pm. She woke up when I got home, so I took her outside and then tried putting her back in her crate so I could go to bed and she went ballistic, and woke everyone up. I have a crate upstairs too next to the bed so we tried her in there but it was worse – even with my hand on her and shushing her, she just screamed.

Anyway, long story short, as I am sure you know where this is going, I let her into the bed. She slept through till 5.30am and then my husband took her out when he was getting ready for work. She was just burrowed into me but was a bit excited when she got up..

With working nights, a toddler being woken up – I don’t want to mess this up but I can’t be awake all night with her howling 🫠😩 but have I messed this all up?
