| I Need My Bed Back I hate to post this because it makes me so very sad but I really need to get some good sleep. It's taking a toll on my life so I need to figure out a way to get the monkeys to sleep out of the bed. Every night I sleep with Hallie sharing the pillow next to my head and Simon tangled around my legs (even though I have a queen size bed). Has anyone ever done this? I don't even know how to start. They have a ton of their own beds but have been sleeping with me forever. |

Poor Kim - I know what you mean. What about setting up something NEXT to your bed that's brand new and they won't fall off of ? They may just think it's big fun to have their own little place to sleep | |

| Gesshhh sorry to tell you but I think its too late now I tried putting mine to sleep on their bed and once in my sons room....5 minutes later my son knocks on the door and says here mom. I guess I'll just have to wake up with backaches everyday...plus my fiancee is in the bed too. I'm thinking about getting a king size bed because my queen isn't cutting it. Wish you luck! |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Could you try and put one of those body pillows dividing you from them on the bed. My 3 sleep in a row on the other side of the bed.

| When was the last time you slept WITHOUT them? I ask because I always think the same as you...I never get any sleep because it's all about Sadie being comfortable, I can't roll over without waking up, making sure i don't kick her, waking up with backaches, etc. Every now and then my parents want to keep her for a few days and when she's gone, I don't sleep AT ALL. It's like my security blanket is gone. I can't get comfortable & jsut don't sleep. So I just wonder if you'll have the same problem.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | ok here's what you do. 1) get a nice crate for each of them. 2) put lots of blankets in there 3) add a few toys and soccer balls 4) put some food and water in each 5) Slap a label on each that says "Ship To New Jersey"

| I know what you mean, when I was married we had a king sized bed, BUT, my husband is 6'4'', and we have 4 dogs. They plastered themselves all up and down me. I felt like I was sleeping in an envelope. I didn't have the guts to do anything to change it. Good Luck Kim. I hope everything works out and you start getting some good zzzzzz's. That's funny Kalina!!! very sneaky, you had me really interested!!

| Guess what??? I saw this on tv (I forogt which dog show - but it was a yokie). They put a gate up on the bedroom door, and the dog's bed on the other side of the gate (I think it was a hallway so that it was blocked off). The dogs can see you, but have to sleep in their own beds. The first night, they cried to get in the bedroom. It got less and less every night until the dog eventually slept in their own bed.
