I guess I'd better get with the program then!!

Right. So why are you bashing a parent's choice to co-sleep by saying that they are crippling their child's development? Just wondering where you came up with that conclusion?

It's also a free WORLD. Truth is this is a concept that is dictated by culture, many countries co sleep - some by choice and others by necessity - and no one is the worse for it.

Funny how the parents that NEVER co-slept have such negative things to say about it!

Experience? First hand knowledge? Friends/family who have co-slept?

I know MANY parents and children who have co-slept and they are all fine, perfect, well-adjusted.

Yup. I sort of thought it was a bad thing before hand and said id never do it. And now we all get more sleep and are all much happier because of it.

I don't get why so many of you care so much how other people sleep.

My husband and I allow our kids (5 and 7) into our bed as they want to... some weeks it's every night and some weeks we don't see them at all. We have been happily married for 10 years. We are able to do "bedroom things" as often as we want to. Honestly, it's none of anyone else's concern where someone's children sleep.
Ditto!

Sometimes they are in their own rooms and sometimes they want to sleep in our beds. We get our "business" done other times.....it doesn't have to happen between 8PM-7AM in the master bedroom lol!

We co-sleep because it suits us. Period. Any questions? I didn't think so.
