Husband on Strike This man is on strike until his wife makes the children sleep in their own beds. http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/8...s=det&psp=news How do you feel, should children be allowed to sleep with their parents? My theory,on raising children, "Don't start anything that you do not want to become a habit." Eventually they are going to have to sleep in their own beds, and when that time comes, they are going to put up a fight. Unless of course you can successfully bribe them, which puts the child in control. Not a good situation. |
I agree... No kids in the bedroom.. We have had times when someone is really sick and we keep them in there to keep an eye on them or last hurricane season when Rita and Wilma were blowing through, but other then that. They really do prefer their own beds. I have a friend who actually let her first sleep in bed with her and now they have a 2 year old, he's 6 by the way. Well, the 2 year old stays in her bed, but the 6 year old is STILL in bed with them.... |
My daughter has a friend like that. The 1 year old sleeps in his own bed, but the 2 1/2 year old sleeps with them. My niece as an 8 year old only child. She still sleeps with them. They bribed her with a new bedroom set, and she still sleeps with them. |
I don't have kids, but I know when I do, they will learn to sleep in their OWN beds. Every once in a while, like a weekend night just as a treat would be different. But I would make the child understand that it's only a treat, not an everynight occurance. I don't agree with it. It makes children too dependent and basically spoiled. They don't learn to tackle their fears and it becomes difficult to rid them of this habit. With that said, how does everyone feel about our furbabies in bed with us? It's weird, I wouldn't let me kids sleep in bed with me everynight, but Coco is different. Why? Dogs are even more habitual than kids, at least with kids you talk to them and make them understand. How do you all feel it's different, kids in bed, vs. dog in bed. |

I don't know why I feel different. My sister lets my nephew sleep with her sometimes, and I tell her not to do that because he won't want his own bed. She was like "UMMM it's funny you should be talking. You can't even sleep unless your dog is in bed with you."..lol...I don't know why I think it's ok for Coco or any of my future dogs and not kids..lol |
I believe that childern belong in their own beds in there own room. My 2 year nephew sleeps with my sis/bother-in-law, which causes a problem when he stays with me or at my moms for the night. |

I think children should always sleep in their own beds. Don't start a bad habit then expect it to go away when you want it to. |
Oh my gosh! Wow, what a way to prove your point, man! Hahaha, definitely entertaining, that's for sure! I agree though, the kids should sleep in their own beds! |

I totally agree w/ that guy. I think he's making his point. I think that children sleeping in bed is awful. My step sis lets my FIVE nephews sleep in bed w/ her. She has no control over them and they're all uber dependent. Her hubby sleeps on the couch or on the floor of the bedroom. What happens when she or one of her other four kids rolls over onto the newborn? It will inevitabley happen. |

Because dogs don't grow up needing counseling because their parents didn't set boundries for them. Dogs are always going to be your babies, children need to grow up. |
My kids always go to sleep in their own beds but on occaisions might come in to me in the middle of the night. I dont mind this as its not all the time and im making the most of them being kids as IMO kids grow up too fast these days. AND does it really matter? Each to their own!!! |
No offense to anyone that does this, because everyone is different. But I think over indulging kids, by letting them eat what they want, sleep where they want, and watch what they want, is creating monsterous kids that need shows like Nanny 911. When I was growing up, everything was whatever mom and dad said and nothing more. Kids have become more and more spoiled and bratty by the minute. It's because parents just want them to shut up so they over indulge them and let them have whatever to keep them quiet. Again I'm not a parent, but am a keen observer. Not good parenting skills. |
I have never once shared a bed with my daughter or my yorkie. There are too many risks involved with bed-sharing. What happens if you roll over on them at night or they fall out of the bed or get stuck between the mattress and the wall.... parents have enough to worry about normally, why add something to the mix! I am also against sharing a room with your kids, unfortunately I have shared a room with my daughter since the day that she was born, not because I want to but because I have to. I dream of the day that she gets her own room, yes I will cry because I'll miss her at night but I will get over it as soon as I realize that I can lie in bed at night and read with the light on instead of using a flashlight. Oh, and something else I have to look forward to, I won't have pacifiers flying at my head when she is ready to get up in the morning!!! |
I could NEVER let my children sleep in bed with us. I would be up all night afraid I had rolled on them or kicked them out of bed. Also when you spend your entire day with them, there is nothing better than putting them in THEIR bed at 8 oclock and having the rest of the evening to your self. :p I can't think of ONE good reason why they SHOULD be in your bed :confused: :confused: I think parents that do this, do it for themselves. Maybe because it is easier :confused: |

My dd used to come get in our bed after we were asleep. Someone told me oh, you need to stop that immediately, well it's pretty dang hard to stop something when you're asleep :rolleyes: She quit doing it when it got uncomfortable to sleep with 3 of us in the bed, however, if my dh is out of town...I can tell you where she plans on sleeping ;) Btw, I don't know of any 15 year olds still sleeping with their parents ;) And if my husband started an on line petition where the kids were sleeping wouldn't be his only problem....actually problem solved...how 'bout you sleep on the couch, sweetie :rolleyes: |

I agree, we knew where our boundries were and what the punishment was going to be if we crossed them. Many of todays kids are so disrespectful to authority figures because they get by with it at home. And for those who say it is no one elses business, I disagree, those are the kids that cause the problems that the rest of the children have to endure. Discipline starts in the home. Monsters are raised, not born. |

I agree that it could be emotionally damaging, but above and beyond all that, shouldn't parents be concerned with it being EXTREMELY dangerous? |

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. |

This reminds me of a story, I never slept in bed with my mom but one night it was storming really bad and I was like 7 or 8 and I got scared. So I got up and went to crawl in bed with my mom, well when I woke her up she was having a bad dream and she raised straight up in bed and started growling at me like she was some kind of monster! I was so scared I started running around the house screaming! When she snapped out of it and realized what was going on she appoligized and then let me crawl in bed with her! |

I know, I'm getting the "Weird Lady" look from you guys but let me explain... this is my soon-to-be-ex-husband's sister who lets her soon-to-be 15 year old son sleep in bed with her.... they are ALL a bit weird on that side of the family. |

I believe it just shows how desparate he is. He is trying to get his wife back and she doesn't seem to care about him at all. Personally I believe that the children in the bed is not the real problem. I believe the wife has other issues that are way deeper. Why else would she feel the need to have the children sleep with her. The baby is 2 months old. Not even old enough to know the difference. |
