Many parents that allow their children to sleep with them....start the pattern not the other way around. Baby won't sleep so they lay down with baby...so baby gets used to sleeping with someone. Now I never did this, refused to do it after seeing friends of mine who HAD to go to bed with the child EVERY night. It's better to never start the habit, but that being said, what people say they will or will not do as parents...doesn't always happen....because as the commercial says...
a baby changes everything 
I'd put hubby on the couch for starting an ON LINE petition or any petition for that matter. That doesn't help anything, jmho.
