OT Dads: Kids Climbing in Bed in Middle of Night?
Posted on 4/28/14 at 11:20 am
Posted on 4/28/14 at 11:20 am
So here's an average night for my 4 year old daughter and my wife(no pics):
9pm: Kid goes to bed in her bed.
11pm: Wife goes to bed.
12:45am: Kid comes in our room and climbs in bed.
1am: Wife starts dreaming about losing a fight to Bruce Lee.
1:02am: We put the kid back in her bed.
2:15am: Kid climbs back in our bed
2:17am: Wife starts dreaming about Bruce whipping that arse again.
2:19am: Put the kid back in her bed again.
3:30am: You get the idea.
Anyone have any success stories in getting their heathen arse 3-5 year old to cut this out?. When she was smaller it wasn't a big deal but now that she's putting the sleep n beat on the wife it's getting out of control.

Yeah you remembering that cute period when they're too small to throw a sleeping kung fu kick to your dome.

its really just going to come down to you all just sitting down and telling her its unacceptable to do it and its time to grow up
or give her some benadryl

I'm really hoping my daughter never starts this. I think the rule is to just not allow it in the first place.
I know know too many parents that have 7 year olds still sleeping with them at night.

At first probably. She'll stop though if you don't give in. If you give in though it'll never stop.

yeah we did this also, one morning she was sleeping in the hallway outside our door

I'm with you Mick. My son NEVER starts off in the bed sleeping with us, but if he comes crawling into our bed at 2 or 3 in the morning, then I absolutely will let him. I know I only have a few years of this, and I want to cherish them as much as possible.
