Unfortunately, as you can see, the majority of the population has a problem with children sleeping with their parents.
I admire you for having the courage to speak up and defend yourself, knowing that popular opinion was against you. Maybe the rest of us will learn to get all the facts before we make judgements.
In the case of the striking husband, however, if he doesn't like the kids sharing his bed, then she should respect his feelings too. |
Thank you and don't worry we all do it including me.
I totally agree with the husband on strike. He should have just as much say in this as his wife. My girls didn't want to sleep with us (unless they had a bad dream or didn't feel good) and I never encouraged it. I do think kids need to sleep in their own bed. I know that may come as a surprise. But I also think that if they are afraid they should be allowed to get in bed with mom and dad. I allowed my oldest son becausse i was young. I allowed my youngest because i was always so afraid something would happen and I wouldn't hear him. Don't get me wrong there are lots of times ok not lots but sometimes *wink* I wish he slept in his own bed lol..
I do agree that alot of kids out there are wild. My 3 year old isn't the best acting. We have let our fear over ride our good sense and we are paying for it trying to get him to behave as kids should. I do beleive that parents including myself need to parent like our parents did. Back then kids listened they helped at home and they were respectful. I was reallly strict on my 3 oldest...Now i'm older and blaine had alot of probs from birth til he was almost 3 and I haven't done so good with him..gosh i never shut up lol i'll stop now..
