So, I think I created a "baby"

posted 4th Nov
I have three kids. My oldest being two. I brought home our second child when my oldest was 10 months old, and our third child when he was 1 years old. Everything was fine up until recently. The last week or so, hes been wanting to sleep in his brothers crib and he would start crying when we put our youngest son in the highchair because he wants to be in there instead.

And for the last few months old, hes been getting up in the middle of the night and wanting to sleep in bed with me. I dont have a problem with it but my husband does because were on a bed the size of a twin/full. Yesterday morning when my husband had to get up for work he tells him "dada, move" Meaning get up so he can lay down. Every morning if he doesnt come in our bed at night he comes in when he wakes up. Again I dont have a problem with it, but my husband does. When It was only me and him at home all day long, I was pregnant with our second and when he would nap, I would lay him in bed with me and we would sleep together. I loved it. I love being close to them especially when their sleeping. Its the most loving I can get out of them without them wanting to squirm away.

The dilemma. Its basically "my job" to keep putting him back in bed when he comes out of it because of me co-sleeping with him for so long. I dont mind them sleeping with us, but since my husband doesnt like it, I either have to hear him bitch about it or get up and do what HE wants me to do. If he gets up hes going to get mean with him and not care of hes crying. What the hell do I do? Right now, Its their nap time and he wanted to sleep in his brothers crib. So I put him in there and for hte past half hour hes been crying he wants to come out and lay in my bed. I want him to but to help reduce how many times he comes into my bed at all or help limit it so he stays in his bed I think this is the only way.

Right now his little brother is sleeping in his bed. Do I move him to his bed and make him stay there or do I just let him out and sleep in my bed?

Do I blow off my husband and tell him oh well he is going to sleep with us, or do I do what he says and keep putting him back in his bed?

I know that co-sleeping is one of those touchy subjects and I am not a believer that either one is the best. What I do believe, though, is that your husband is going to become resentful if you guys don't work this out. Having a kid in your bed when your hubby doesn't want him to be is sure to cause relationship and intimicy problems. You should talk to your hubby and find out why he doesn't want him in your bed. Is it a space thing? Or maybe he doesn't want a child in your grown up "space"? I am not sure how to get your kid back in his bed, but I would google some tips before this gets worse. Good Luck.

Its only because of the space issue. Its kinda hard to fit just me and him on there, let alone me, him and our oldest.

Quoting .Empty Whiskey Tits:“ Its only because of the space issue. Its kinda hard to fit just me and him on there, let alone me, him and our oldest.”

We have this problem but with our dog ha ha. My (big) hubby begs for her to sleep with us but I say no because I get squished up against the Pack N Play next to our bed. (Not that kids and dogs are the same  ) We have a queen size bed and I want a King size so bad but it won't fit into our room. I can't wait to move so we can get a big bed and everyone can fit together.
