For co sleeping. Our DS who is 3 comes into bed when he wakes up hella early with night terrors and or DD who will be 6 months sleeps with me because I'm nursing and between the two of them waking up, its just easier. He told me I'm smurfing up our kids and that its just wrong because it teaches the kids that if they cry, they can just sleep with me.

Why did I start crying like he hurt me? So what if I co sleep? He isn't hear and doesn't know what hell I go thru every night. Our DS sleeps perfect at his house. I'm just sooo tired. I know that its part of being a parent, but I would rather function during the day with the kids and not fall asleep on them.

He still pushes the right button. Still crying

I'd tell him to smurf off!

Sorry he's acting like such a dick! My big kids co slept til they were pretty old and they are perfectly normal, well adjusted 14 and 11yr olds.

I understand the 3 year old... If I let DD sleep with me after 1 nightmare she'll play me every night. However I don't think it'll cause them any harm and it's not really his business what you do at home. Not sure why you're crying, lol... Grow some balls and stand up for yourself!

pfft, tell him to cram it. you have every right to what you're doing. besides, what they do at your house shouldn't concern him one bit. you're their mama after all

DH said the same thing to me when DS was first born. I remember DS was only a week old when I first brought him into bed and DH freaked out, he told me that I was spoiling him. That's when I told DH is he'd like to get up every 10 minutes, change DS's diapers, and get him to latch all while I'm asleep then I'll gladly keep DS in the bassinet. DS will be 3 in January and he still climbs into bed with us some nights. I needed sleep, I had little to no help, I did what I needed to and I don't feel an ounce of guilt.

I'm crying because I'm tired and have no help with 4 kids. I told him he lost the privelage to say anything about my house the moment he left us. Yes I stay at home with my kids so I do have more time to sneak a nap in, but that doesn't mean I get to. The kids barely take naps at the same time. Our DS screams bloody murder at night and he doesn't even know he's awake.

Quoting hi puddin:" For co sleeping. Our DS who is 3 comes into bed when he wakes up hella early with night terrors and or ... [snip!] ... would rather function during the day with the kids and not fall asleep on them. He still pushes the right button. Still crying"

i guess it just really depends on how your kids are. some children genuinely need that sense of security a little longer than others.
