letting your dc sleep in bed?

[firthy85]

as it says. when did your dc stop sharing a room with you?. did they just grow out of it or did you force the issue as a parent?. my friend seems so hartless as she doesn't let ehr dd share a room at all she believes that she has her place and the mother has hers. but what is so wrong with a little comfort as long as it's not a habit?

One of mine didn't bugger off till' she was almost 10! She would sneak in during the night.

When she was younger, it was hard to get her to sleep alone. Turns out she has ADD so it wasn't really her fault.

It did annoy me at the time. She's 12 now and when her Dad works away she still gets in with me! But she's happy alone now too.

@fortunefave
it must be hard if they are sn i was genuinely curious

It's better not to say "they ARE SN"

That makes the ADD more important than the person.

Also ADD is a learning disability. My daughter is not ADD...she HAS it.

I think what works for one parent doesn't work for another. I think it's judgemental of you to call another parent 'heartless' because she does not want to co sleep. She has her parental choices, just the same as you have yours. We should support each other and not judge.

If you are happy co sleeping then you should do it as long as you would like to. 😊

sorry fortunes, i just meant that it makes a bit of a difference to a child's behaviour not intending to place a label on her. like i said i wouldn't let it become a habit but every so often doesn't hurt. she doesn't even let that 1 off type situation happen. that is why i said what i did. you are right though to use a word such as heartless lol was perhaps a bit strong because she certainly isn't a heartless person shes one of the loveliest people i know just a bit of a bone of contention with us lol
