I'm sorry but I've been staying up late working so my brain is not operating properly. I keep thinking you're saying wearing the CRAP and I have to go back and reread it. It probably doesn't help that you're not happy with him, so it looks like you're just really really annoyed.

Please don`t put words in my mouth. I also mentioned the thread was more of a vent. Guess you missed that part too.
Problem is he doesn`t even really help me during the day. I literally have to ask him 10 times to make a bottle. I get so fed up I just do it myself.
One thing he does do to help is make dinner.
Hey Lisa, sorry about that - I was fly-by posting this morning and should have also said "I'm glad you weren't hurt badly when you fell", but I was out of time and couldn't write more. This is the first time I've made it back on the computer all day (almost 12 hours later!)

I had not had a chance to read the whole thread when I posted, again, sorry!

I hope the venting helped!

Nothing, I mean, NOTHING was gonna rouse my man from his bed before the brain engages. I think it has to do with being the middle child of 11 and fishing most of his life. Once you're asleep, unless the boat's sinking or the house is on fire.....or you have to leave for work, you're not waking up. Instinctively, he knew I'd wake up. He did help with the little ones during the day though....was absolutely great with that part. Of course, ahem....if he wanted this exhausted mom to ummmm take care of his needs, he knew he better be doing his part somewhere! LOL

Where and when did this term "co-sleep" come from? My only kid is 19, and I never heard it before these threads. Why isn't it just "sleeping with your kid/baby" instead of co-sleeping? Co-sleeping sounds as if it takes two people to accomplish sleeping.

Just curious about the new terminology and if anyone knows where it originated.

It's psychobabble, but it's become a meme.

LOL.....yeah, silly terminology. Guess they needed to shorten down, "child likes to sleep with mom & dad"....or, "parent wants to punch hole in the wall cuz kid won't stay in their own bed & won't quit bawling, so they let them sleep with them". It's sort of like co-dependent.....you know, just can't say enough's enough!

Why thank you...thank you very much...//curtseys here\\ LOL Of course, he took on a woman with 8 siblings, so I guess he's to be applauded as well. The difference though, is that most of my siblings lived further away than his, were much more independent, and I had already drawn the uncrossable lines in the sand with my siblings, before we got together. LOL Ironicaly (and said with much relief and pride), we are the only couple whose marriage has lasted...on BOTH sides of the family!

I suspect that co-sleeping and babywearing are terms that were invented by the attachment parenting movement.
