To use the kids as bedwarmers?

Now its cold we've had the kids in our bed after bathtime as its warmer than theirs. We've been leaving them in there and putting them to bed later so our bed is nice and warm when we go up. I feel a bit bad as their room and bed is well cold when we put them in later but I do throw another blanket on them and its nicer for us AIBU?

For fuck sake.....your poor children.

Is it the start of half term?

Hmm
reelingintheyears · 29/10/2011 19:56

Can't you put a heater in their room then turn it off when they go to bed?

Electric blankets?

Hot water bottles in nice fluffy cases?

Thingumy · 29/10/2011 19:57

Put them down the bottom of the bed when you get in.

Constant winter footwarmers.Sorted.

Is this a 'wind up'?

I bet the OP lives in Dubai or somewhere hot!

SwearyMary · 29/10/2011 20:01

Do you lift them back into your bed at 5am, so that you wake warm too? Hmm

You mean they can be used for something else? Tell me more . . .

Wants3 · 29/10/2011 20:07

No you are not, my boys still come into our bed before they go to bed, we have a chat and then go our separate ways( they are teenagers though!)

troisgarcons · 29/10/2011 20:07

make them stand in a bucket of sand and use them as decorative doorstops.

A million and one uses for children if you think hard enough.

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 29/10/2011 20:09

That's a fucking genius idea. Now that I have moved back to this cold country I shall be making sure that DD3 earns her bloody keep.

ToothbrushThief · 29/10/2011 20:09

Thanks OP. Great idea and I love Thingumy's extension to the idea!

SwearyMary · 29/10/2011 20:11

Ohhh, liking the doorstop idea. I wonder if DH would be game......

I do get a bit nervous about it as one is not so long out of pull ups.

tooearlymustdache · 29/10/2011 20:19

can you get them to lie in front of the sofa like a pouffe?

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 29/10/2011 20:19

Yeah, but if you restrict liquid from 4pm you'll be fine Wink

AshaBoo · 29/10/2011 20:25

I do this when camping Grin

BarkisIsWillin · 29/10/2011 20:26

YABU They should be doing something useful like cleaning chimneys

schrodingersbat · 29/10/2011 20:35

This cracked me up [hgrin]

You need some wheat bag things or hot water bottles all around.
