[Tiger's Mom]

I have debated on whether or not I should respond to this thread . . .but as you can see, I could not resist.

I must be the loner on this one when I say that my baby slept in our bed until about 6 years old. When I finally moved her to her own room, she would sleep there but in the middle of the night she would climb up to our room and snuggle in bed.

She did that for the longest time until she was old enough (grade school) and said I don't wanna be squeeshed anymore . It must be an asian thing because I know that my sister has 4 of her kids all on her bed (well her oldest one finally moved out because she too was squished). My daughter's Best friend still sleeps with her mommy when she comes home from college and so the dad goes to the daughter's room. Again, I must say it could be an asian thing.

Just so you know, my daughter ended up growing up just fine . . . she is very normal, we are very close and she calls me every single day. She is a stellar student and continues to be on the Dean's list in College. She is very independent and very level headed and has never gotten into trouble - not once. We have this great bond and she is very open to me and kept no secrets and I have no regrets on my decision to have her sleep in our bed . . .

As for her best friend, she too is a great kid . . . graduated at the top of her class as well and is now in Georgetown U taking up International business ad so very independent. She is just very close to her mommy. As for my sister, all her kids have been nominated to the GATE program - academic (you CA residence should know about this program) and excelling in sports and adores their parents like you would not believe.

Did I say it must be an "asian" thing . . .

Of course, Tiger now sleeps in my bed and Nika soon to follow!

What can I say . . I hope this revelation will not get me kicked out of YT!
